Installation of your Wall Fixture

 

If you are installing in an existing location, your work will be easy.  Just turn off the power to the fixture, remove mounting screws, undo the three wires (Black-power, White-neutral and Green-ground).

When installing the new fixture, just make sure the wires are color to color. If you think this could be a problem, consult a qualified electrician.  If you have trouble matching and connecting the wires, some help (spouse if you can get along on a project like this) with extra hands could help.  Just connect to the wall with the enclosed screws and caulk where necessary.

When mounting in a new location, it is suggested that you check with a qualified electrician that will know the local codes.  Some locations require that your outside lights are Dark Sky Compliant. Also when mounting on the side or both sides of your front entranced, the center of the bulb should be about 66 inches above the bottom of the threshold.
