Please take Ecnerwal's advice and do some learning before undertaking any more wiring projects. At a bare minimum you should've wired it as the old light was. You also need to know how to make secure connections so you don't start a fire. | |

| Dec 19, 2023 at 12:33 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | Anywhere that has adopted NEC2011 or later, you need /3 cable (white-red-black-ground) for a switch loop. And "matching colors" is NOT how electricity is done, particularly in switch loops. Go check out a book from the library on basic home wiring (but if it's old, find a newer reference for switch loop wiring.) | |
