I just bought a new ceiling light fixture and I'm having some problems with the wiring. I'm quite the novice at this and I'm in need of some help The light fixture has one black wire and one white wire. The outlet box has the following.... Twisted Cream wires with a cap Twisted Brown/Maroon wires with a cap Twisted Green wires with a cap a single orange wire, capped but not stripped. I connected the white wire with the CREAM and the black wire to the Brown/MAROON. When I turned on the power, the light turned on but when I tried the switch, the light would not turn off. Upon looking at the wiring in the switch, I noticed that the wires were orange (top) and brown/maroon (bottom). I'm living in a brand new condo and I was hoping that it would be a simple job. If anyone can help me, with the proper wiring, as to which colours should go together, I would greatly appreciate it. Ed

OK, this seems simple enough, but I cannot find anyone to help me with this question. I am finishing my basement. I am planning to drywall the walls and ceiling. I went to home depot and lowes to buy recessed lighting. From what I can tell, I need non-IC, since there is no insulation in between my floor joists. I need new construction, since I have not drywalled yet. However, all the recessed lights at HD and lowes seem to be designed as follows: They generally have some type of frame/rails. They have a can, where the light goes. And they have a separate electrical box. The thing I don't understand is that the electrical box is separate from the can. If I drywall the ceiling, the electrical box will be burried. This is against code. The people at HD say they sell these all day long for basement refinishing, however, I don't want to install a light fixture that has an electrical box that is buried. If I would ever need to access that box, there would be no way to get to it. Perhaps these kind of lights are only for those using a drop ceiling with removable tiles. What kind of light should I use for a drywalled ceiling? Thanks!
