    How to wire a pull chain switch to ceiling fixture
    Hello, I have a pool table light that I need to install. The existing wires in the ceiling are as follows. There are 3 black wires. 3 white wires and a cooper wire. Only 1 white wire has power and only 1 black. My question is what wires do I use to make this thing work and what to do with the remainig wires. Also this ceiling fixture has no light switch to turn on or off so I need to install a pull chain switch as well. So which wires from the ceiling do I connect to the pull chain. Thanks

    Put all the whites together and 1 of the lamp cord wires. Put the 3 blacks together with 1 of the wires from pull chain. Put the other pull chain wire to the other lamp cord wire. You're done!

    Oh, the other 2 whites and blacks feed other fixtures down the circuit.
