Best Answer

The white is neutral. The house does have a neutral wire even though it may be black. One of those black wires is the neutral and the other is the hot wire. You will have to determine which is hot and which is neutral. You can easily do this with a voltage tester. The wire that lights the tester is the hot. When you wire the light simply wire the hot to hot, and the white and green to the other wire.

How do you wire black white wires with blue and brown?

If you have silver colored wire in the wall, it is aluminum. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, call an electrician. Aluminum will react with copper and wiring devices made for copper, so special hardware is required. Aluminum has problems with heating at bad connections, and has caused many house fires. Usually it' will be white connects to silver. If you follow it through, or use a continuity tester you'll see that the silver wire connects to the outer ring of the light sockets (for a light) or neutral for other circuits. "Usually" it is the odd color to black. If using lamp cord which can be white, black, brown, or clear, one of the strands can be different color. If for a light, it really doen't matter as long as you keep track of which is which. Generally you would go by the insulation color. There are exceptions to this rule so it helps to know where the power is coming from and where you want it to go. All wire is copper colored, the different one, silver, would go to black. In wiring, it is usually the "different" one that goes to black, but again, this is not a hard and fast rule.

Probably still at the store. Track light hardware is sold as individual components; the track is separate from the light fixtures. Find a distributor of the BRAND/style of track lighting that you're using, then purchase the light fixtures that you want to use.
