I am trying to replace a wall light fixture that is connected to a switch. The light just stays on.?
I have looked on the internet for answers and all of the DIY and diagrams show just black, white and ground wires. i have an extra red wire from the wall, and a green wire from the fixture. i've attached the green wire to the ground screw, along with the plain copper wire from the wall. i've switched the whites and blacks, still the light stays on. there are also red wires coming from the wall. should i try the whites to the red? and just cover up the whites? or the blacks?? this is taking forever with the repeated shut offs, etc etc. can i leave it as is for tonight? i have blacks with whites and the light is on. if i throw the box switch off, i think it turns the heat off help? i don't know what kind of switch it is. i don't know what the red wires are for. but a few years ago i replaced the light that was there and i had no real problems. now, i replaced that one, and i can't get the thing to turn off. which wire from the wall goes with the switch? what do i do with the extras?? the ones from the light are green, white, and black. the ones in the wall are copper, white, black and red. ive tried the black white combos but left the red alone and the copper with the green on the ground. ???okay, it looks like a 3 way switch. whatever, but i need to replace the light fixture. and i just need to worry about one switch that was originally the one controlling it. this is a bathroom with a switch to turn on a light. that's the only switch i need to worry about. it previously was working with a light i installed, now i can't get it to work. i can ignore the red wire from the wall, which is apparently another switch. but how do i get this one switch to work? the other light i had was just white, black and ground. this new light has the same wires. i can't see what i'm doing differently this time. last time, it looks like i had to use piggyback black and white, but why should that affect anything? also, should i not be attaching both sets of ground wires to the screw? should i just attach them to each other? this is really frustrating. the links with one of the answers just explain about how to install a switch. i just need to get the LIGHT working, not the switch. please help
RoomStore delivered a bed and damaged a wall light fixture! How to proceed?
I just had a new mattress set delivered by the Room Store. On the way up the stairs, the 2 men did not pay attention to a light fixture on the wall and scraped it with the mattress. It punctured the drywall on one side, and also the one of the screws broke. What infuriated me is that they didn't know I saw them and then tried to get me to sign the papers stating the delivery was ok and that there was no damage to the item and my home and personal property. I quickly in a nice way pointed the light out and he was like, " oh, yeah, it's just a screw. you can buy that." No attempt to fix it or offer a solution. I made sure to make note of the damage on the sheets I signed and crossed off the no damage statement. Has this ever happened to anyone? What should be done here, if anything? Will the company do anything if we do call? I know these were just delivery men and it's not their problem. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble.

What causes a wall light fixture (without a dimmer) to only produce a dim light from any bulb?
A bulb in this fixture will be very dim brown in this one, but fully bright in any other lamp. It seems like something that happens time to time in old houses.Thanks in advance
Connecting the ground on a wall light fixture?
I just bought a new light fixture and replaced an old one on my wall. The new fixture had three wires, hot, neutral, and ground and I connected them fine. It also had on the mounting bracket a screw that you could attach the ground too. In the diagram it showed a separate wire from the light fixture going to this screw which I didn't have on my light so I assumed it was not necessary. The fixture works but one bulb burned out the first day and I am wondering if it could have something to do with that ground. The other wires are attached properly and securely.
It's a question of wires on an old wall lighting fixture?
Replacing twin lighting fixtures having an old base and 4 wires 2 gold and 2 gold and red striped. The wall plaque has two wires one blue and one white. I'm assuming the red striped is hot and will of course connect those to each other but to the blue or the white????Tio it worked
How do I install wall lighting fixture near water pipes?
I want to install a wall lighting fixture in a bathroom and have it centered over a mirror. There is a stud behind the sheet rock where the fixture needs to be centered. Copper water pipes run along each side of the stud and connect to the sink below the mirror. I have a metal pancake box but I am concerned about using it in such close proximity to the water pipes. The house wiring is 3 wire black, white & ground . The light fixture also has a ground wire. Can I use the metal pancake box? It probably would not be touching the pipes but would be within 1 2 inch...maybe less. Should I be using a plastic pancake? Thanks My fixture has 4 black, 4 white and a ground wire. Is that too much to cram into a pancake. If so, any alternate recommendation will be appreciated.
