Hi,
I am remodeling my sons room his Grandmother was kind enough to purchase him a set of bunk beds, however there was a ceiling fan that I needed to replace with a light else he would get hit in the head with a the fan. His room was too small to relocate the fan. The fan was controlled by a switch on the wall. When I pulled the fan down I noticed that it was being fed by a #14 with a black, white and copper that was a constant hot. There was also a #14 with a Black, Red, White and copper. I think the 3 way wire goes to the switch, I know the normal wire does not because it has power if the switch is up or down. I would like to use what is there if possible, does anyone have any suggestion on how I would make this work safely?
Thanks
Brian
