Almost every inspection that I've done, I've come across light fixtures that don't work.  Regardless of the actual problem, I write these fixtures in the report as "inoperable" and that further investigation is required.  Some inspectors have long narrative scripts that could include possible wiring problems and possibly needing to have an electrician come and investigate.  This type of alarming item on an inspection report is very easy to avoid in most cases.  My experience has shown that more often than not, a light bulb needs to be replaced.  Follow this simple, very inexpensive tip of checking light fixtures and replacing bulbs as needed before the inspector shows up.
