INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 

PARTS INCLUDED FOR INSTALLATION (parts are not to 
scale): 

1. Thread the Hex Nut (#12) onto the Nipple (#14).  Thread the Nipple (#14) into the center hole of the 

Mounting Bracket (#11).  Do not tighten the Hex Nut (#12) at this time.

2. Pull the power supply wires out from the Outlet Box (#9), and mount the Mounting Bracket (#11)  to the 

Outlet Box (#9), using the Bracket Mounting Screws (#13). 

3. Attach the Black Supply Wire (#10) to the Black Fixture Wire (#17) and the White Supply Wire (#21) to 

the White Fixture Wire (#18) using Wire Nuts (#19).  Connect the Fixture Ground Wire (#16) and the 
Supply Ground Wire (#20) together using a Wire Nut (#19). Wrap all wire connections with electrical 
tape for a more secure connection.  

Note: If you have electrical questions, consult your local electrical 

code for approved grounding methods.

4. Carefully tuck all Wires and Wire Nuts (#19) into the Outlet Box (#9).  Place the Wall Plate (#15) (of the 

Main Fixture Body (#5)) over the Outlet Box (#9), flush against the wall surface, making sure the Nipple 
(#14) feeds through the hole of the Wall Plate (#15).  Adjust the Nipple (#14) so that it protrudes about 
¼ inch from the surface of the Wall Plate (#15).  Remover the Wall Plate from the wall and tighten the 
Hex Nut (#12) against the Mounting Bracket (#11).  Replace the Wall Plate (#15) over the Outlet Box 
(#9) and thread the Thumb Screw (#6) onto the Nipple (#14) to secure the Wall Plate (#15) against the 
wall. 

5. After installing the fixture, caulk upper 2/3 of the Wall Plate (#15) to mounting surface.  Leave bottom 

1/3 un-caulked for drainage of any water that might leak into the enclosure.  The manufacturer 
recommends a non-drying exterior caulking material.  A good example is a clear silicone rubber sealant 
for exterior use.

6. Installation is complete. Turn on power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.  Turn the light switch on to 

activate the fixture.
