Wuzzup.
Okay, First, Listen to Footer. get somebody who knows how to do this first.
But this is what I think you've got going on, it may help with future questions.
Electrical
( Electrical 001 -Most safe electrical devices have a hot, a
ground and a
neutral wire. Hot is the main
current,
neutral is the
return current and
ground keeps a short from going all the way back to the
breaker box, and causing a
pyro display.)
I think the exposed Copper
wire on your Schonces the
ground wire. the black and the white are your hot and
neutral respectivly.
Problem 1- It sounds like your missing a
wire. On your Chandilier You have what appears to be a
ground and a
neutral wich means your missing a hot
wire or you're light
wire is your hott and your copper
wire is your
neutral. But I don't think so. It sounds like you might be missing a hot
wire some where. If you
wire the chandilier without a
ground you run the risk of starting a fire.
Problem 2- I have no clue what kind of dimmers your making refernce to. There are many diffrent kinds of dimmers so here specifics matter. Your dimmers also have a black and a white, but the aqua marine color should be green, unless your trying to
wire in a
power pack. Don't
wire in a
power pack. If you don't have them I recommed getting riostat dimmers ( small
hand held dimming units) for your schonces. Or re-post with more information on this thread.
Now here is the important part.
There's not enough of the right kind of information for us to help you. You can have someone re-post and that might help a little bit , but please don't wire this yourself.
Rigging
It also seems that your question involves a little
bit of rigging. ( geting the stuff up in the air. If you'r hanging the chandilier, I suggest using aircraft cable hung from your
grid. You need an apropriate length of aircraft cable and some
nicopress sleaves and a
crimping tool. Again, see if you've got somebody who can do it for you.
Build the schonces directly into the set.I'm assuming that you've got walls to mount them to. Then you can mount your riostat dimmers onto the wall in the back of the set.
I hope this is helpful in some way, keep us posted as to what is going on.
