My dad once told me that he had to find the circuit breaker that corresponded to a particular wire and because we have around 60 circuit breakers in our house, he had to flick one off, run down and check the wire, run back up, flick the next circuit breaker off, and do that quite a lot of times.

In that moment, I got to explain binary search to him and he was genuinely interested. 🙃

I think the old school method was to plug in a stereo and turn the volume up. When you couldn't hear it then you got the right breaker.

I hook a cheap webcam up to a USB battery pack and load it up on my phone. Then I plug in a light and point the camera at that. It makes it a single trip and doesn't bother the neighbors.
