An apparatus for testing a fluorescent light bulb is disclosed. The apparatus includes a circular housing including a pair of contact receptacles operable to receive two conductive elements of a fluorescent light bulb. A lamp housing is coupled to a portion of an outside surface of the housing and extending away from the housing and sized to receive a low-voltage lamp. A power source is coupled between the contact receptacles and the low-voltage lamp and operable to illuminate the low-voltage lamp when an electrode of the fluorescent light bulb is coupled to the contact receptacles.
