New apartment: strange lack of voltage in the light bulb connection wires

Maybe call an electrician? Hard to find the reason without being there
do you seriously install light bulbs like that? this looks horrible.
just call an electrician please
I moved to a new apartment in a new house. I’m trying to connect temporary light bulbs in the rooms. And I had a question, maybe someone knows what the answer to this riddle is. There are three switches for three light bulbs, each switch turns on/off three light bulbs at once. There is voltage in only one of the three sockets! During the move, the movers told me that in order for all three light bulbs to work, “the circuit must be closed” and all three light bulbs must be installed at once. I tried it, but no effect. Everything worked while viewing the apartment, a month ago, the house is new, built in 2022. I’m inclined to believe that I’m not taking something into account/I don’t know, maybe you have any ideas what’s wrong? I don’t want to call an expensive electrician right away… P.S. I tried different light bulbs, different temporary sockets, checked the voltage with a tester (spannungprüfer)
Your first LED is broken or on its way out or cheap and running via capacitance.
There’s no issue with your voltages.
But if you hang lamps that way, get a fucking electrician before you kill yourself or burn down the place.

This is utter lunacy.
