I was replacing some light fixtures today, and now I'm starting to second-guess how I handled the grounding wires. Each box has a bare copper grounding wire. The new fixtures have green insulated grounding wires. The mounting bracket is a custum variety (not a strap), and there is no green grounding screw. I was going to use one of the mounting screws that are recessed into the box, but instead I ended up directly capping the bare copper (house) wire to the fixture's green grounding wire. In other words, the copper wire was not first wrapped around anything in the box.
Is the fixture grounded or not?
