What happens here

Prepare the ends of the 14/2 Romex cable by stripping about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of insulation from the black (hot), white (neutral), and bare copper (ground) wires. Connect these wires to the corresponding terminals on each recessed LED light fixture using Wago connectors. Ensure black connects to black, white to white, and the bare copper ground wire is securely connected. These lights are typically installed on a 15-amp circuit.

Goal: Connect the electrical wires to each recessed LED light fixture

Here's the truth, the building contractor wanted to cut costs, but that's okay cuz it gives me work as an electrician. I'm installing the recess LED lights. I connect my wires using Wago connectors, black to black, white to white, and ground to ground. Black is hot wire, white is neutral wire, and ground is copper wire.
