I am replacing a light fixture in my kitchen that came down when I was away, so I didn't take note of what wires were connected to the old fixture. It's a switch where there's only one switch on the wall that controls the light.
I have the following situation:
Switch:
- 1 red wire, 2 black wires, 1 ground wire. Not connected to the switch are two white wires capped together
Ceiling:
1 ground wire, 1 red wire, 2 white wires, 2 black wires
Light fixture:
1 ground wire, 1 white wire, 1 black wire
The question is how to do wire the light fixture to the wires coming out of the ceiling? I assume match the colors, but the "extra" red wire throws me for a loop.
Help is appreciated.
