Ok I've got a home wiring question for all you Electricians or anyone experienced in wiring some track lighting into a ceiling. I purchased a 3 mini light L.e.d track lighting kit at Home Depot for my storage room and tried to install it over the weekend.. When I removed the old light from the ceiling to my suprise there was no junction box in the ceiling, just the exisiting light wired to the romex cable with some wire connectors and tape. So off to Home depot I went to purchase a round plastic old work electrical box.
Ok so now to my question: My home was built in the late 50’s and it only has white and black wires in the romex cable, there is no copper ground wire.. There is no ground screw on the plastic junction box either for a ground wire. But on the mounting bracket of the track lighting kit there is a white, black and a loose green ground wire. What do I do with that green wire? I feel like ive been here before and just capped it off but its been years since ive done any electrical work and I’m now out of the loop. What do I do with the green ground wire? If anyone can help I’d greatly appreciate your input.. Thanks in advance.
