    Changing an outdated wall light fixture
    I am trying to replace a very old light fixture that was attached to a medicine cabinet in my bathroom. I should also add that it was fluorescent. The problem I'm having is that the old fixture only has a white and red wire. The new fixture has white black and green wires. Is it possible to use the new fixture?
