Changing one bulb light fixture to a two bulb fixture

[Justine]

Hello, I am in the midst of replacing a light fixture in my bathroom. The light fixture I am trying to put in has two hot wires and two grounds. Is it safe to wire both into the single wires in the home wiring? Please help, as I’d like to have light in the bathroom again. An email would be appreciated. lilcateys@aol.com Thanks, Justine

Just be sure the power is off, and match up the wires black to black, white to white and ground to ground.

pig tail the 2 balcks with each other on the fixture, pigtailing is first twist the stranded wire indivually. then pig tail both with each other, then hold that even with the solid wire from house and twist a wire nut on real tight, wrap with 8 inches black electric tape

do the same with white wires

attach bare ground wire to metal box or to the bare house ground wire with wire nut

just keep the colors with each other

dp. let us know how you do
