Square Recess

Square Recess
How do I replace a 1950′s light fixture with a ceiling fan?

I have just moved into a home built in 1952. All the light fixtures in the house are 12″ square recessed lights placed in the middle of the room, which offer a minimal amount of light in each room at best. I decided to change out the lights with ceiling fans, however, I’ve run into a bit of a problem. There are only two wires coming from the fixture, and both are wrapped with black cloth. In the old fixture, the two wires formed hooks around the screws holding the light bulb fixture in place. None of this matches up to any ceiling fan I’ve seen. What do I do?

The correct answer would be long and involved and could be confusing due to not knowing all the conditions in your house. I recommend a licensed electrician.
