I recently brought an older house and I wanted to change the light fixture in the attic. When I took down the old fixture (It was a pull switch light) I noticed there were only two wires both of which are black and no ground wire. One of the black wires is connected to the lighter colored screw in the light (I suppose that is the neutral wire and the other hot? How do I proceed with no ground wire?
