connecting a ceiling light..
to the existing wiring. The house wiring is aluminum and the light fixture is copper I think since it's new. Is there a special connector I should be using or just use what I have since I have lots of plastic connectors (orange, black, blue, yellow) that screw the wire ends together? I don't recall if they are for a certain type of wire though.

Geeman - A connection between copper and aluminum wire must be done correctly. If not, the connection will corrode and the resulting heat could cause a fire.
Can I suggest that you do a Google search on CoAlum connection hazards and get familiar with he correct techniques needed to do the job safely.
