Hello,

I am replacing a ceiling fan with a Chandelier and wanted to ask for a little help. My box has four wires coming off ( black, white, red, and copper). My chandelier has two black wires together, bare silver, and bare copper. Also, I believe the fan had a speed regulator on it from the wall. Can anyone give me some help wiring this Mojo?

You don't mention any white in the chandelier, are you sure? How was the fan hooked up? One of the likely hot leads, black or red, probably controlled the light. With power on, use a voltage checker to test voltage between the black and ground and red and ground. That will tell you what is what. But, you will still need a neutral for the white in the box unless the silver is insulated and is neutral. Can you see the color of the wire that goes to the bulb base? Are you sure the silver isn't insulated?

From the chandelier there is two black wires that look like a cord from a normal lamp. I am guessing that the silver wire is the neutral. The chandelier is not up yet.

Do not assume the silver is neutral. The two wires that look like normal lamp wire means either can be used as hot and the other as neutral. The copper is ground and so is the silver but I can't be certain on the silver without seeing it, try capping with a wire nout and see how it works.

Look at the two black wires and check to see if one of them is ribbed. If so, that may be the neutral. Zip wire is coded that way. Put a bulb or two in and connect the wires to a circuit tester. If the tester light comes on you have a circuit. Black to non ribbed, white to ribbed,? bare silver unless that is possibly a safety wire and copper to copper. I'd test it before hanging.
