One word of caution here. If the light fixture is hooked up to a three-way switch, it is possible for the light to be off and BOTH sides of the circuit to be hot. This isn't a common way to wire three-way switches and it isn't to code anymore, but there are many homes out there with legacy switches wired as such. See: Carter 3-way switch.
Edit: Now with diagram!
