I am replacing a light in my living room. When I removed the existing light fixture, I found an extra blue wire (blue, black, white, ground) provided. It's not a 3 way switch so I am assuming it was provided in case I wanted to put a ceiling fan in the room. So with a regular fixture (white, black, ground), should I just cap the blue and ignore it?
