Fluorescent Fixtures - how to line four together?
Out of my wall I own black, white and a bare copper rope, which I assume is ground.
1) Do I run a separate white wire to respectively fixtures white wire from the wall white? Or can I start at one call a halt and link the whites together bringing them to the wall white?
2) Same interrogate for black wires?
3) Each fixture has a blue telecommunication with a undressed end that does not shift to the end sockets. I assume this is ground. Each fixture have a green screw. Do I have to run a separate chain from the wall ground to each blue fixture ground flex? Do I have to line something to the screen screw? I dont see why, if I am running a ground cable to the wal ground.
Anyways, thanks for the backing. I want the lights to work and have no hum, which is what the T8's are worthy for.
All help appreciated.
Answers: Yes copper is earth(ground)
If you want them adjectives to come on togerther as they are low wattage- you dont need a ring prevalent on them (eg set them up in series and wrap up one back to the mains)
Start at the first and run blue to blue and black to black on the 2nd and so on (and top soil to each)
1) Connect all the white wires together the easiest passageway. You can jumper from desk light 1 to 2 to 3 to 4.
2) Same as white wires.
3) Ground same as white wires. I'm not sure about the Blue telecommunication. On the ballast it has a electrics diagram that should tell where on earth it goes.
