Wiring – Ceiling light with push connector but 3 white wires in box

wiring

I just purchased a new ceiling light that uses push connectors rather than bare wires. My electrical box has a single black wire, and 3 white wires that are tied together. The old fixture's white was twisted into the 3 white wire connection. How should I work my light's connection – should I cut off the push connector and follow the previous method, or would there be a better approach?

Best Answer

You'll need to pigtail the whites to the fixture's neutral connection with a short length of white wire that connects the bundle of whites to the connector.
