By any chance in a million you didn’t accidentally hook one of your grounds up to the hot in the wall did you? Like the black ground didn’t mistakenly get hooked up to the black coming out of the wall. I’m 99 there’s a short to a ground to instantly kick your breaker as soon as you throw the switch.

I hear you, but I don't think so. Initially I only had the single green/ yellow ground wire connected and it tripped the breaker. I saw a green screw inside each bulb housing and figured I would try connecting them to the main ground as well... didn't solve the problem. I am thinking that I may have dislodged the wall-to-fixture box ground wire, so I will go up into the attic this weekend and see from the back.

Breaker kick out if you disconnect the fixture? Everything appears correct now that I’m picking up what you’re putting down. Both original blacks go to the brass screws and both whites to the silver Green to your black ground wires then maybe something has gotten moved. 🤔

Don't confuse Nuetral and ground. As mentioned you prolly don't even need a Ground.
A meter should tell you everything you need to know. If not pull the switch out and look at the wire colors there.

Another thought,

Wire in a MOSFET transpositor to create an ODM bypass. The metal oxide should suppress sinusoidal repleneration and correct any cross phase reluctance. Tie the tertiary output to the lunar wane shaft to prevent any back EMF duractance.

Or buy a meter.

I won't have a chance to work on it until this weekend. It's 25 feet up on a ladder so I have to time it for when the kids are not around or they will likely seize the opportunity to yank the ladder out and put an end to me once and for all... Wifey may or may not be complicit.

I have remained silent, for a change, because I don't want to be responsible for Stogie doing the 220 shuffle... or 221.

It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Problem is 100% resolved.


I burned it down and we are rebuilding.

Actually, I redeemed myself. There was a short inside one of the bulb sockets that was the problem. I swapped it out for a replacement and it works perfectly. Cheap Chinese stuff I guess. Anyway, I will take it back to Home Depot and get my $20 back...

No more 25 feet up on a ladder for me. Wifey will have to find a different way to collect on my life insurance.
