So, while attempting to test voltage into a string of flourescent fixtures I managed to blow something that shut down the light circuit i was working with, another light circuit, and wall outlets on one side of the basement. The breaker did not trip, but I believe all of these are on the same breaker - I flipped every breaker on the panel just in case, but still nothing.
