Hi -

Thanks for reading. My question is super-basic but that's about all I can handle. I just bought a new light fixture for my new home. Coming from the wall is one black and one white wire (no green). I was expecting the new light I bought to also have one black and one white however it has two blacks and two whites (there are two bulbs). Do I just put all three black wires together (2 from the fixture and one from the wall) and all three white wires together and ignore the ground wire in the new fixture?

Thanks.

In a light fixture, each buld needs a hot and a nuetral. So, yes, splice the 2 black wires from the light fixture to the incoming black, also the 2 white wires from the fixture to the incoming white wire. If it's a metal box, screw the bare coper to the box, if its plastic, just wire nut it off and tuck it in the box.

Thank you. Will do.
