    Electric wire
    I want to install two used (probably 1972) wall sconce in my dining room.
    The sconces have two wires: one black and one with red stripes.
    The wall has two wires: one black and one white (plus the ground).
    Should the wires be paired: black with black and white with black/red stripe?
    Thank you
