How do you wire a fixture that had two hot and two neutral wires?
To install a new fixture to replace the one that was removed reconnect the two hot wires together and then reconnect the two neutral wires together. Place the two wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wire colours that you just spliced together. This wiring should be down stream from the light switch. When the switch is turned on the new fixture should light. If this is not the scenario of your question then more information needs to be given.
What does it mean when a porch light fixture is turned upside down?
Well, honey, turning a porch light fixture upside down doesn't have some deep hidden meaning. It simply means someone installed it wrong or they were feeling rebellious that day. Either way, it's just a light fixture - not a secret code for aliens or a new fashion trend.
You have two wall lights on one wall connected to one switch you want to change one light to an outlet and keep the other light on the switch How can you do this?
This depends on the specific way your installation is wired. Most likely, though, you will not be able to just change one light fixture to an outlet. Lights that are controlled together are wired with a common hot wire called a switch leg. This switch leg is connected to the switch so that when the switch is on, the wire is hot. This lights your fixtures. To change a light fixture into an outlet, you need a constantly hot wire. This wire is connected to the light switch screw opposite the switch leg. In your situation, you probably need to run new wires to the new outlet which carry this constant hot and a neutral. Or you would have to bypass the switch (wire nut the hot and switch leg together) and install outlets at both light fixture locations. Simply stated, this is not really an easy fix but more of something for an electrician to do. ----If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., NOT a non-contact tester, which is not definitive.)
You have an outside light that won't work but switch has power?
First and foremost make sure the light bulb is a good one. Try it in another fixture to make sure, even if it just came out of the box it was packed in. If you have checked the switch for power then you must have a tester. The power coming to the switch will most likely be on the top screw. Turn the switch on and see if you have voltage on the bottom screw. Check this voltage from the screws to the ground wire as the neutral will not be accessible in the back of the switch box. If there is voltage to the bottom screw then move on to the light fixture. Remove the outside light fixture and see if you get a voltage reading on the incoming hot (black ) wire. If there is voltage there then you have to see if the lamp holder is making continuity. If you have an ohm meter or a continuity meter remove the lamp fixture from the "hot" wire and the neutral connection and see if you get a reading across the fixtures black and white wire. This has to be tested with the bulb in the fixture. No continuity reading then there is trouble with the socket. Might be time to think about a new fixture.
How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?
If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.
