i am hanging a light fixture. I have a white , black, and a groung wire. My fixture has a white , red and a ground wire.
Which colors do I connect to what, and which two colors get the two ground wires?

That will have every one stumped, You are in America and this forum is based in the U.K.

However i can tell you that the black is the "hot" wire and the white is not.
That said, because you are in America you have different regulations depending on what state you reside in, so your best bet would be to ask at your local diy store.

This highlights what i have said in a previous post (can not find it just now,typical)
Most people assume that all "posters"
are from The U.K. where as i had noticed that is not the case, I am not knocking these forums but It also makes me wonder how come you can post whilst Anonymous, yes we could all have a ficticious name, fair enough but at least we would know that xyz posted it and xyz answers electrical questions and pqr answers building questions etc.
I believe the administrators are going to change this soon.
