Need help wiring a ceiling light
(sh.itjust.works)
Built something cool? Need help bringing vision and reality into alignment? Let's talk about it here!
Europe here. House wires are red and blue. Tried pairing wires of the same color: only one bulb light up...
My bad advice is even worse in Europe. Over here, we usually have two house wires plus a ground. The ground wire is bare so it's easy to tell it from the others. The other two wires are common(white in the us) and hot(black). Most of the time you can hook a lamp up any which way you please and it will work. At this point I would go find another lamp in your hluse and pull it off the wall to compare.
