Wiring Chart – Blue Brown Black White Green-Yellow – What Do They Mean? July 19, 2016 – Posted in: Tutorials
Many of our customers end up returning units because of improper installation. Whether it’s not reading the instructions or just messing the wiring up. Here is a simple chart we made to match up wires correctly. Look at the chart horizontally to “create a match”.
Wire | Fixture Color | Standard Color | Junction Box / Ceiling Color |
Neutral | WHITE | ||
Live/Active | |||
Ground | ////////////////////// | ////////////////////// | BARE WIRE OR YELLOW GREEN |
Notice how wires can change from country to country, location, etc. The ground wire can be bare and doesn’t need to be wrapped in electric tape. We always recommend you have an electrician for installations.
