Too many specific codes to follow for a DIYer on this one. Get an electrician!

Trial and error is best.

Since it's your house nobody will suffer for the consequences if you burn down the place.

Which is an excellent reason to hire an electrician. You're proposing to install a luxury fixture, so why cheap out on the install?

If you tell a man not to do something that has a high probability of hurting him or damaging his property... aren't you helping him?

This is a professional forum... I'm sure there are a number of DIYers on the other forum who would be glad to help you foul it up...

Dude, get real. This is a site for professionals. And the only reason I haven't added my two cents till now is because I figured this thread would eventually be closed.
