    2 white wires going into light
    There are 3 sets of wires in my hallway light. Red together, black together and a white and black together. Then there are 2 white wires hanging that were in the light. The light worked fine and I am replacing it with a newer light. Is that all right to have 2 whites going into the light?

    Yes, it should have had Black tape on it.
    A meter or tester can tell which is the hot.

    It's actually not OK, but I would not change it now.
    Instead of tape use a Sharpie marker.
