Hello, I have a light fixture I am trying to install in my kitchen. Previously there was a ceiling fan there. When I opened the ceiling electrical box, I found 2 black, 2 white, and 2 ground wires. Each was connected to its respective color. My light fixture only has 1 black 1 white and 1 ground wire. Can I just connect the light fixture wires to the respective wires in the electrical box? I would end up with 3 of each color knutted together. The old ceiling fan was connected to a light switch that would activate the ceiling fan light and another light fixture in the room. The actual fan would need to be activated by pulling on a chain. The blue and black ceiling fan wires were connected to the black wires in the electrical box, white to white, green to ground. I don't want to burn my house down... Thanks! 2 wires of each kind old fan wiring. Fan white went to ceiling 2 ceiling whites. Fan Green went to 2 ceiling grounds. Fan black and blue went to 2 ceiling blacks.
what is this blue wire on ceiling fan?
do i connect blue with red?
previuos ceiling fan didnt have a light and was controlled by string from fan… NOT A SWITCH

We opted for the LED POT equivalent, 6" & 4", puck style. They are great since they are about a 1/2" in depth and can be installed overlapping with a ceiling joist. Each puck has it's own transformer and each set of ceiling lights is on it's own it's own circuit 15 amp circuit. Yes, overkill but I like being able to turn off each room without bothering other rooms in case of repair.
At first we installed standard physical switches during the remodel and the lights just snap on. At the end of the process we installed electronic dimming switches rated for LEDs. Now the LED's when switched on flash wait a second then come on. We have tried changing trim and other settings on the switches to no avail. We have tried several makes of switches that work fine on standard LED replacement bulbs. Same outcome. The manufacturer claims this should not happen and has exchanged several lights to get a sample from us. This happens in all rooms (9) where dimmers were installed. Again, straight switches are not a problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
