In a switch leg using say 12-2 or 14-2 romex, the white wire is hot at the
switch. The white and black tie together in the junction box of the light
fixture, and the black off the switch goes to the black wire on the lamp. So
yes,
this is a case where the white is hot. The NEC only allows this case too.
Best,

FYI.....It is always good practice if you have power (white neutral and
black hot) in a ceiling box and you are switching down to a switch, you should
connect the white wire of the switch leg going down to the black hot wire in
the
ceiling box then switch back up on the black so you always know what is
neutral and hot at the lighting fixture when it comes time to connect it.
Yes
Will you are right
