I'm trying to put up some track lights in the basement.
In the ceiling, I have black and white wires coming out
from two sources and wired to two set screws on the porceline
fixture, and two copper wires wrapped together and tucked in.

On the track lighting, I have a black, green, and white.

What do I do?

Thanks,


I admire your attempt to do for yourself, but you clearly don't have the
essentials to do for yourself in the world of electricity. Not that you
can't develop it by any means, because everyone that ever learned this stuff
before you started from the beginning. But... now is not the time to turn
to the internet to learn how to wire. You can and should start with a basic
book available from Home Depot on basic home wiring. It will teach you the
basics of all of those wires coming into the box. And - it won't take you a
long time to read and master. You'll have the added advantage of pictures
which do come in handy when learning something new. Learn the basics and
then ask questions on an internet forum.

Or - you can call an electrician. I personally think you should. That way
you can ask him all of the questions your heart desires and get direct
answers right there in front of you. Again - I don't mean to be insulting
but the internet is not the place for your questions to be answered.
