I got a sealed led light, both wires are identical, any idea how I can find out which is live and neutral?

[brookebussell]

What about on antique chandeliers, no ridge on either wire both are clear!

In my case, the 2 wires in the ceiling are the same color and I can't tell them apart. How do I find which wire is the hot wire? Thanks!

Both of my wires in the wall switches are white, do I do the same with it to find the neural?

Hey so I have a chandelier, and there is clear wire. I’m having trouble finding the ridges. One of the wires has white writing on it and the other doesn’t. I tried a multimeter I said it to 2M ohms. I touch the red from the multimeter to the base inside into a wire. I got movement and a reading. Then I touch the other wire and got movement and a rating. I then touched the red to where the threads were touch and got movement and a reading on both wires anyway to help thanks.

Needed to know which you wire from curling white wire or black wire which one is normally positive?

[brookeitak]

How can I tell with an LED light fixture? Where I can’t test in the bulb socket?

[alejandrolio]

My led lamp has the black wire N symbol and the white wire has L symbol so that mean that I have to connect black with white and white with black wire

[jasonbarks]

My fixture has three wires that are all the same color, how do I wire that?

You have to use a proper microphone so that you're not mumbling
