I doubt it. You might be able to disconnect the neutral side and stick
an am-meter between it and the fixture and see how much current flows,
or if a break/fuse pops. On 2nd thought, I wouldn't know how to
interpret the results and you might damage yourself or the wiring.
You can supposedly hook up a GFCI breaker to protect a 2-wire circuit,
but I don't know details on how to do it.
