How to install outdoor post light?
To install Nuvo’s 60W Tofino Series Post Light follow the instructions below.
- Before beginning the installation, ensure your safety by turning off the power to the circuit breaker. This will prevent serious injury for you when working with the electrical wires.
- You should also open the box and make sure all the contents are included in the box. If you have everything, you can begin the installation process.
- To begin the installation, place the glass to the fixture and put the nipple through the glass and fixture. Then put the ball nut and rubber gasket over the fixture. Secure the ball nut and rubber gasket with a round iron sheet and ball nut.
- Then install the light bulb and secure the base to the fixture using finials.
- Use wire connections to connect the positive and neutral wires. Then connect the ground wire to the junction box ground port.
- Once completing those steps, you will move on to the wiring piece which requires patience and precision.
- First, put the ground screw into the hole on the mounting bar. Then wrap the ground wire from the fixture around the grounding screw. Connect the grounding wire from the fixture to the grounding wire from the outlet box using a wire connector.
- Separate the black and white wires from each other and connect them to the corresponding wires from the outlet box. Use a wire connector for the connection.
- Once the wires are connected, put the fixture to the post using the screws.
