    Connect Led fixture 2 wires, to ceiling light with 4 wires.

    I have 2 lights connected to 1 switch. I installed a led light fixture on one light, it had one red wire and one black wires. It was easy to match the wires to the led light fixture.

    Hello! I design and build lamps, which has been a simple task so far, but I've decided to dip my toe into the dubious world of 120v LED PCBs for slimmer designs. I'm working on a lamp right now that would utilize three ~4" 120v LED PCBs that are originally designed as ceiling lamp/fan retrofit...

    Lighting fixture flickers for like 10-15 seconds, just very slightly, then stops

    Hi! I have a fixture that flickers for maybe 15 seconds when I first turn it on. Then it stops flickering and functions normally. Then if I were to turn the switch on soon after it stops, there is no flickering. Then if I wait 30min or so and turn it on again, it flickers just briefly again...

    I bought 2 new e27 aluminum vintage fixtures after the original ones were poorly wired and the wire just fell out. I couldn't figure out how to open the fixture to repair it so bought new ones that were advertised as disassembled but they arrived assembled so I bought them for nothing. The...

In the other box there is now only...
