Please help: 3 way light switch hanging a light fixture
Comments (3)When you say that there are those "4 wires coming out of [the] ceiling", are those just the ones that presently "come out", or are they also the only wires in the box? (That is, have you peeked inside the box to see if there are any other wires that aren't "coming out of [your] ceiling"?) If there are other wires in the box, that would be useful to know. My initial take was the same as Normel's--that the outlet was wired to control two things, such as a fan and a light. I still think Normel's "analysis" makes sense, but I'm perplexed that there are apparently two three-way switches (purportedly) involved at different room locations. Am I correct in this interpretation? Did a pair of switches control a light there before you went to swap fixtures? It's possible--though not terribly likely--that a pair of three-way switches used to control a light while only one switch controlled the other function (e.g., fan). If that were the case, and the black wire was the old "fan wire", then wiring the chandelier to the red wire rather than the black might work. (BTW, you need to cap off the unused wire with a wire nut, whichever wire ends up being unused!) What happens when the red is swapped for the black? Can you look at the switch that currently "works" and tell us how it is wired? Not counting any bare ground wire, does it connect with three wires or only two? Colors? Any "history" might help....See MoreWhat size chandelier/light fixture for 10' ceiling front hall?

Comments (5)@Patricia Colwell Thank you for taking the time to comment. The track will go where you see the hanging bulb. The opening is there as a wall was taken down. There is no lighting in this part of the ceiling. The height, slope and lack of wiring make it extremely difficult to place recessed lights. There is a fan currently in place and I am just purchasing a new one, on download and not crooked. Lol.
