I am putting two antique very simple lights onto the chimney surface.
There were lights there previously, when the fellow did the drywalling
he took them off.

Is there a specific way that the wire should be joined? In the wall I
see one white and one black, both are capped. The light fixture itself,
has two wires, but both the same color. ..So..does it matter how I
connect the wires since there isn't any differentiation on the fixture?

thanks
