DIY help! Sconce replacement with mismatched wiring 🤦♀️
Hi! I’m hoping you kind smart people can help me. I started changing our master bedroom sconces because I thought it’d be an easy swap out. Our new sconces require 3 wires - while, black, copper. I assumed the old ones were the same but when I took them off the wall they had 5 wires attaches. I’ve attached pics of key points in the removal process for reference.
- last photo: shows the old sconce assembled on the wall. You can see there are 2 bulbs.
- first photo: you can see that each white lightbulb holder has its own white and black wires coming directly from the wall
- second, third, and fourth photos just show the wires coming out of the wall and what is behind the wall that you can see (ie, not much)
Any input would be much appreciated!!!
