    Rewiring a Chandelier
    I am rewiring a chandelier as a plug-in light source instead of a hardwire source. Is there a "map" somewhere online with directions to follow so I can do it the right way? :)

    The white goes to the ribbed wire/striped wire/wider blade. The black goes to the smooth wire/plain wire/narrower blade. The ground goes to the bare/green wire if there is one.
