see if black(fixture) to red (house) and white to white works. that is
what I would expect in your situation. white is always neutral, green
is always ground, most other colors are hot. when you have a black and
a red in the same box black is usually always hot and red is switched hot.

OK
Light Switch - Black on one terminal red on the other

Electrical Box - Black, White, Red, Ground

Old fixture was connected to black and red with two copper wires from
the fixture.

New fixture connected black to black ad white to red - no light
New fixture connected black to black and white to white - light but no
switch control

I am very confuse now.

Please, how many wires are available at the ceiling box where the
fixture is?

What colors are they?


It would also help if you would pull the switch out enough to
identify the colors on the 2 terminals on the switch.

Hi,

I am in the process of replacing all of my ceiling fixtures in
my
house. I am currently replacing one in the hall, there is a
white,
black, red and ground. The only way the light will work is on
the black
and white but it can not be controlled by the switch. Any
suggestions?
