Default Trying to make sense of wiring...


One of those is likely a switch wire, you'll need that, the other
"extra" wire likely is a daisy chain to another light fixture. This is
really pretty minimal, I have no less than 6 sets meeting at my first
ceiling box in my living room, something I intend to change one day, as
the light and outlets share a circuit. That was common old school
practice, but less common and no doubt illegal today.
