Here I go again asking for help ...
How do I identify the hot and neutral wires in a electrical fixture box when all the wires are the same type and color (white)? When I pulled the old light fixture, there was a single wire connected to a single wire on the fixture and there were two wires connected together that connected to the other single wire on the fixture. It's one of two hallway light fixtures controlled by a switch at either end of the hall (two switches) ... if that helps.
The new fixture actually has the prerequisite black, white, and bare (ground) wires. Just want to get this right.
