when installing a flush mount light i do not see a ground wire.?

Question

the light has a hot wire (black color) and a neutral (white color). but i do not see a ground wire (bare). So how do i attach the ground wire, from the ceiling, to the light?

Answer 1

Too bad you couldn't have checked first, but you can ground the fixture if in fact you have a ground wire lead in the house/building wiring.

Attach the Green,,, or Gray if commercial, to the fixture itself by way of a small hole drilled and a screw,,, or where that fixtures metal substance comes in contact with the hardware it connects to. It's not the ideal way, but adequate.

Answer 2

if the box and conduit is metal then it is grounded. if it is plastic then there should be a green wire. remember they make lights and fans to work with all kinds of installations. if you attach the green to the metal box then you are grounded.

Answer 3

There should be a green color screw either on the light itself or on the box itself. Attatch the ground to it.

Answer 4

hook it up to the bracket , hook up the black one and the white one, and the other to the bracket somewhere

Answer 5
