Default how to replace ceiling fan with light?
wrote:
Have been commissioned to remove ceiling fan and install a ceiling light
(she no longer wants fan) so anyway took fan down and there are 4
wires..........what is the red wire for? I am thinking black and white and
ground are all that is needed for a light and to just tape red wire and not
connect. any advise appreciated.

I think it would be quite irresponsible to just tape a wire like that
while hoping and guessing. It would probably even make you civilly
liable for damages if you are being paid. Suggest you figure it out or
call someonewho can. You have a voltmeter, right? Careful.
