Light Fixture Install - Electrical - DIY Chatroom - DIY Home ...

Can someone help me figure out how to install a lamp on my ceiling junction box? The house is brand new, so I assume the wiring adheres to the latest construction standard.

The fixture has 4 wires: one black, one white, one red, and one that is bare copper.

The lamp came with 3 wires that are not color coded. Two of the wires come in a pair similar to an extension cord (wrapped/ shielded in plastic), the other wire is exposed.

The instructions seem to indicate that the exposed wire is the neutral. So I was thinking about connecting it to the white wire. What should I do with the other wires?
