Having some trouble wiring fixture it seems to just stay on with the switch doing nothing.. here's the deal I have three different wires coming from ceiling power in, power out, and I believe switch.. there was a priovious light there so I know its correct just don't what wires go with what all help will be appreciated thanks
black is always hot - white is nuetral and another is the switch - and of course green is ground - you have the hot correct - but you arent hooked to the switch leg is all
tricky subject. check out from bing and yahoo. this can assist!
You have the incoming hot wired to the light, bypassing the switch. If you don't know what you're doing, get someone that does.
Identify which wire goes where. The power in and the power out and the switch get confusing to anyone. In most cases they are all wired together and a jumper is used to wire the light. Except the return wire from the switch which is connected to the light. For a wire system using NM cable (romex) the power in is wired to the switch, the white in the switch cable is marked with black tape at each end and it is connected to the black of the power in cable the black from the switch is wired to the light, the rest of the wires are made up color to color and a short jumper is used from the whites to the light.
