It has been nightmare installing this lamp with the useless instruction... Anyone know how to connect this 3wires to 2 housewires(one black &amp;white)?

The third wire (not black or white) is the ground wire and should be connected to the copper wire that should be in your junction box. If you don't have one coming out of the box, consult an electrician for safety.

I had a regular lamp cord that I cut and strip. Took those 2 leads and connected to the flat panel light. Use wire nuts and electrical tape to keep tight in the box that is on the back of the light. Also make sure you get a strain relief (rubber grommet) for the hole the wire goes thru in that box

If I understand your question I believe the answer is yes, INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:* Connect the Ground (Green) wire to the Green screw.* Connect the HOT (Black) wire to the Black screw* Connect the other wire (Load) from the previous switch to the yellow screw.* Connect the NEUTRAL (White) wire to the silver screw. This is requiredfor the nightlight to work.

Hello, We do offer full instruction on our direct website under the tech support tab, or you could give tech support a call at 1877ledglow and a technician would be happy to talk to you about the installation process! Thank you

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

Glad you got it going. I agree the wires at The Monitor are 'microscopic' and a real pain to strip back in order to crimp on a ring eye or hot wire tap. Instructions are non existant. If you should have further issues and I can be of assistance, let me know.

You can always request an extention cable with chain. They are very accomodating to your needs. The lamp looks amazing once installed. Expensive look at a very affordable price :-)

What if you have one more light, WHAT?How do you hook them up? I put all the red wires together and all the black wires together and hook them to power. Red to positive and black to ground. OR I hook up a positive thru the switch I'm using, and a ground from the battery then I "tap" into each with the LED strip wires. You HAVE TO WIRE THEM CORRECTLY RED TO POSITIVE, BLACK TO NEGATIVE OR THE LED WON'T WORK AT ALL. Its not like a regular light bulb that can be wired in reverse. Hope all this mess helps you.

I am still having a hard time getting mine installed. The instructions are completely worthless. It might as well be drawn in crayons. IT says to plug the wire in but there is no plug. All I can guess is that you are supposed to strip the wire plug off and then straight wire it but the instructions are worthless and the manufacturer says he can't support it because it was bundled by and third party and sold. I am disgusted with this.

This one worked great for me, just follow the instruction on how to wire it up. Your present lamp may be wired a different way, I mean white orred or black wires may go different places, do as the instructions say and put the wires with the right ones and it will work perfect.

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZ PS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

Maybe you need to turn the pipe around. As for the lamp not working, mine did not work either. So it was money in the drain. Complained about it, but never received a reply.

Replace the 5wire first and see if it fixes both. Check for loose wire connection on light.

It was a little confusing for me as well. Just place your hand behind the center of the outside plate (on the outside), and then with the other hand push the round spring loaded plate back to meet with your hand. This springs down and around the socket. Then the bulb should just screw in. Mine works great. Love it. Good luck. Steve Bullock

The light is polarity sensitive, red is positive, black is negative, check the polarity of your existing wiring, you may find black is positive and white is negative. Why you have 2 white wire? I'm not sure, one wire may possibly be suppling gound to another fixture... goood luck, Scott

Sounds like internal wiring issue inside the lamp itself. Make sure your connection has good ground. I'd try powering the lights with a separate pwr source, if they still don't work return for warranty.
