To install a new fixture to replace the one that was removed reconnect the two hot wires together and then reconnect the two neutral wires together. Place the two wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wire colours that you just spliced together. This wiring should be down stream from the light switch. When the switch is turned on the new fixture should light. If this is not the scenario of your question then more information needs to be given.
What else can I help you with?
Can you connect light fixture wires that are black white and ground to house wires that are red white and ground?
Yes, you can connect the light fixture wires to the house wires by matching the colors appropriately. The black wire from the fixture should connect to the red wire from the house, as both typically serve as "hot" wires. The white wire from the fixture should connect to the white wire from the house, which is the neutral. Finally, connect the ground wires (bare or green) together to ensure proper grounding.
Light has to neutral wires hooked to it with hot wire nutted together one to switch one to fuse box how hook up to lights to it?
To connect the light fixture, you should connect the hot wire from the fuse box (usually black or red) to the light's hot wire (also black or red). The neutral wires (typically white) should be connected to each other, ensuring that the light's neutral wire is connected with the two neutral wires you mentioned. Finally, connect the wire from the switch to the light's hot wire, allowing the switch to control the light. Always ensure the power is turned off before making any electrical connections.
How do you wire in a pull chain switch in a bathroom light fixture?
If you are adding the pull chain to an existing fixture then the pull chain switch should have two wires. Wire nut either one to the hot wire coming in and the other to the black wire of the fixture.
How can you connect a system working with 60Hz 1 Hot wire 1 neutral wire and a ground wire to my utility system that works with 60Hz two hot wires and a neutral wire?
Your 2-wire system is actually connected to one "side" of the 3-wire system. In your utility's 3-wire system you have 2 hot wires that are attached to each end of a tranformer winding and the neutral is attached in the middle and grounded. Typically in the US this gives you 240v (or something similar) between hot leads and 120v from each hot lead to neutral or ground.
Which of the two wires is hot which is neutral?
If this is a home wiring question and the wires are black and white then black is Hot and white is Neutral. If you also have a red wire, it is the other hot wire, and either the black or the red wire to the white one would be 120 volts, and red to black would be 240 volts.
How do I properly wire a light fixture with 3 sets of wires?
To properly wire a light fixture with 3 sets of wires, first identify the hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green or bare) wires in each set. Connect the hot wires together, the neutral wires together, and the ground wires together using wire nuts. Then, connect the fixture's hot wire to the group of hot wires, the neutral wire to the group of neutral wires, and the ground wire to the group of ground wires. Finally, secure all connections with electrical tape and install the light fixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
You are changing a light fixture but the wires are all the same color which one is the hot wire?
Typically, in a standard electrical wiring setup, the hot wire is black or red, the neutral wire is white, and the ground wire is green or copper. If the wires are all the same color, you can use a voltage tester to identify the hot wire. Be sure to turn off the power before working with the wires.
How do you properly wire a light fixture with 3 wires?
To properly wire a light fixture with 3 wires, you need to connect the black wire to the live or hot wire, the white wire to the neutral wire, and the green or bare wire to the ground wire. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fixture.
What if the new light fixture has 2 black wires and no white wire?
If the new light fixture has 2 black wires and no white wire, it likely means that the fixture is designed to be connected to a circuit where the white wire has been designated as the hot wire instead of the black wire. Make sure to double check the wiring and consult a professional if you are unsure.
Can you connect light fixture wires that are black white and ground to house wires that are red white and ground?
Yes, you can connect the light fixture wires to the house wires by matching the colors appropriately. The black wire from the fixture should connect to the red wire from the house, as both typically serve as "hot" wires. The white wire from the fixture should connect to the white wire from the house, which is the neutral. Finally, connect the ground wires (bare or green) together to ensure proper grounding.
How do you wire a switch to a light?
To wire a switch to a light, you connect the hot wire from the power source to one terminal on the switch, then connect another wire from the other terminal of the switch to the hot terminal on the light fixture. Finally, connect the neutral wires from the power source and the light fixture together.
What are the live and neutral wires in a ceiling light?
The live wire is the wire that carries electrical current to the light fixture, while the neutral wire provides a return path for the current to complete the circuit. In a ceiling light, the live wire is typically colored black or red, while the neutral wire is colored white or gray. It is important to properly identify and connect these wires to ensure safe operation of the light fixture.
How can I properly wire a light fixture with only 2 wires?
To properly wire a light fixture with only 2 wires, you will need to connect the black wire from the fixture to the black or hot wire in the electrical box, and the white wire from the fixture to the white or neutral wire in the box. It is important to turn off the power before working on the wiring to ensure safety. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with electrical work, it is recommended to consult a professional electrician.
Outside porch lamp has no box just two wires coming in black wires are tied and don't connect to fixture just the white wires what is going on here?
You would have to provide more info to be certain what your problem is. Typically a black and white wire would connect to the two wires on the light fixture. The fixture should also be controlled by a switch that "breaks" the black (Hot Wire) to turn off the fixture. If you have a volt meter you can see if there is 120Volts between the black and white wires with switch on. If there is a single white wire going to fixture (Neutral), where is the "black wires tied" to. Maybe one of the black wires has broken off the fixture.
How do you wire a switch to a light fixture?
To wire a switch to a light fixture, you will need to connect the hot wire from the power source to one terminal on the switch, then connect another wire from the other terminal on the switch to the hot terminal on the light fixture. Finally, connect the neutral wires from the power source and the light fixture together. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow all safety precautions.
How can I properly install a 3 wire light fixture in my home?
To properly install a 3-wire light fixture in your home, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the old light fixture and disconnect the wires. Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire in the ceiling box. Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire in the ceiling box. Connect the green or bare copper wire from the fixture to the ground wire in the ceiling box. Secure the wires with wire nuts and mount the fixture to the ceiling. Turn the power back on and test the light to ensure it is working properly.
How do you properly wire a switch to a light fixture?
To properly wire a switch to a light fixture, you need to connect the hot wire from the power source to one terminal on the switch, then connect another wire from the other terminal of the switch to the hot terminal on the light fixture. Finally, connect the neutral wires from the power source and the light fixture together. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow all safety precautions.
