Can you connect light fixture wires that are black white and ground to house wires that are red white and ground?

Yes, you can connect the light fixture wires to the house wires by matching the colors appropriately. The black wire from the fixture should connect to the red wire from the house, as both typically serve as "hot" wires. The white wire from the fixture should connect to the white wire from the house, which is the neutral. Finally, connect the ground wires (bare or green) together to ensure proper grounding.


Which of the two wires is hot which is neutral?

If this is a home wiring question and the wires are black and white then black is Hot and white is Neutral. If you also have a red wire, it is the other hot wire, and either the black or the red wire to the white one would be 120 volts, and red to black would be 240 volts.
