QuestionDo some receptacles have a ground wire to which to connect the new ground wire (so no need to connect copper to a ground screw)?Community AnswerInterior ceiling lights usually have no ground wire connection, unless there is a receptacle in addition to the socket. Remember that the "hot" (black or red) wire goes to the brass colored screw, "neutral" (white) to the silver screw. If there is a bare ground wire in the fixture, often found in ceiling fans and exterior fixtures, twist it together with the ground wire from the cable, and put a wire nut on it.
