[KleenezeDon]

So obvious a child could do

OK....so I'm supposed to hook the ground from the light fixture to the wire box's ground wire?? then black to black and white to white.....I've seen where the ground is just screwed into the mounting bracket......which is right???? I have to grounds....

@348Frate 6 Months Later... I'm not an expert but I think...

I think screwing in the mounting bracket will yield the same results so long that the bracket itself is grounded. Is the Bracket you speak of the conduit box? if so than the metal conduit is the ground.

Damn, thank you for the help bra.

You make it look easy.

The hardest part is trying to figure out which breaker to turn off.

@RapIsDeadly

lol turn the whole thing off than lmao thats what i did .

[PiercingTruth]

if theres already a light there, just try them all until your light turns off, if theres no light already there, wait till daytime and turn them all off...there are other ways but those are the easiest

[rhsmoe]

I thought you had to attach the ground to a screw or something metal. ???

I wish it were this simple. My ceiling box has multiple wires coming out. There are three bundled black ones, a red and brown bundeled together, and 3 bundled gray ones. Everywhere says "there is a white, a black, and a ground". Well, not at my place.

I hear you. I live in a pre-war building (pre WWI) & every light fixture has an old gas line behind it & no "wire-box" to speak of. Mess with it too much & you wind-up breaking the seal on the old gas line, your ceiling fills up with the residual gas left in the line & explodes. Then you've got a mess of old plaster, horsehair & 1/2 dollar sized pebbles on your floor & no ceiling.

I think it's time to upgrade bro.

@braggen: lol. I eventually figured it out with the help of a non-contact voltage detector. I've installed 3 so far at my place........no explosions so far!
