My light fixture has 4 wires: load, neutral and ground + copper bare wire but ceiling box only has two (white and yellow). Where does neutral go if white is ground and yellow is load ?

It would trip the circuit breaker when you turned the light switch on

Isn't it when you're dealing with ac there's no polarity, unlike dc, so either way it will work? Do you really need to do this?

Simple explanation and Thanks for sharing the video. You mentioned that you hooked the wires without switching main line power. Is that safe?

Not recommended, its always safer to turn off the breaker.

Ok.. how about if I have 3 wires coming out of the ceiling; white, black and red. White to white, black to black and is red ground? What If the fixture I’m connecting only has 2 wires, White & black? What do I do with the red wire coming out from ceiling? Do I find a spot on the new fixture and connected to ground?
@mjahandyman6390 Жыл бұрын
Red is NOT ground, it could be another hot wire..

Hi Mike, does one wire have writing on it ? if so, that's your neutral.
@canmorito Жыл бұрын
Make sure the power is turned off by flipping the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture to the off position. After connecting the wires of the new light fixture to the circuit wires in the ceiling/wall box using twist-on wire nuts, you can do the following simple test using a non-contact voltage tester to find out whether your light fixture is installed correctly: With no light bulbs installed yet into the light fixture, turn on the circuit breaker and then the light switch. If the wires are connected correctly, then the voltage tester will only beep when you place it closer to the center pin or tab inside the light bulb socket, meaning that the center pin is hot but the threaded shell of the socket is neutral. If the wires are reversed, then the voltage tester will beep when you touch the threaded shell of the light bulb socket, indicating that the entire socket is energized (potential shock hazard when installing or replacing light bulbs).

I have alight fixture that has a blue and a brown wire with a separate mini green yellow ground wire. My house has white and black. Which wire do i connect to the hot black wire? I'm guessing the blue.

I just got a new light fixture and the ground wire is a 4" copper wire wrapped around the green screw on the plate, but it isn't connected to the fixture. There is no other ground wire on the fixture either. How should this little wire be connected to the fixture???

I'm confused. My simple light fixture (no built-in switch) has two clear/silver wires and there is continuity between them (tested), and in the ceiling I have one hot and one neutral, no red (2nd hot)... If I connect either way then won't it short out the circuit??
@mjahandyman6390 3 жыл бұрын
Was there a light in the fixture when you tested for continuity ?
@MWood-ry8uu 3 жыл бұрын
It is an 8-light chandelier. There are a couple bulbs in the sockets. I thought there should not be continuity between the wires. Worried there is a crossed wire in the fixture and it might short the circuit.
