Disconnect power to the electrical box and remove the old fixture. If more than two
wire leads are present, keep track of which wires were connected together.
Installation For Recessed Electrical Boxes
Pull the supply wires out of the electrical box. Using the
machine screws that fit the electrical box, secure the
mounting strap to the electrical box, making sure that
the side marked “FRONT” is facing out (
Fig. 1
).

For safety and proper installation, the fixture must
be properly grounded. If unfamiliar with the methods of
properly grounding the fixture, consult with a qualified
electrician. A green copper ground wire is pre-attached
to the fixture. If the electrical box is made of plastic and/
or has a green or bare copper grounding wire inside, the
fixture grounding wire and the electrical box ground
wire should be connected together using one of the
small wire nuts included (
Fig. 2
). If the electrical box is made of metal and already
grounded, secure the bare end of the fixture ground wire to the mounting strap marked
“GND” using the green grounding screw. Connect the supply leads from the electrical
box to the fixture wire leads using the wire nuts. The black lead from the fixture is
connected to the black supply lead and the white fixture lead is connected to the white
supply lead (
Fig. 3
). Tighten the wire nuts properly to prevent them from coming loose.
If needed, use electrical tape to secure the wire nuts onto the wire leads. Push the
excess wires back into the electrical box.

Restore power to the electrical box at the circuit
breaker or fuse panel. Make sure the wall switch that
controls the electrical box for your security light is
returned to the “ON”position and check that your light is
functioning properly. If the light is functioning properly,
fit the silicone cap into the mounting screw opening to
prevent water seepage into the housing (
Fig. 8
).
Position the wall plate over the mounting strap so
the center hole of the wall plate aligns with the center
hole in the mounting strap. While holding the wall plate
place the long machine screw through the center
hole of the wall plate and mounting strap. Tighten
the screw properly to secure the wall plate onto the
mounting surface (
Fig. 5
).
If eave mounting the fixture, position the sensor head
with the adjustment controls and drain holes facing
downward to prevent water damage (
Fig. 6
). The
position of the sensor head should not exceed 45
degrees from horizontal.

Restore power to the electrical box at the circuit
breaker or fuse panel. Make sure the wall switch that
controls the electrical box for your security light is
returned to the “ON” position and check that your light
is functioning properly. If the light is functioning
properly, use silicone adhesive caulking (not included)
to caulk the gap between the wall plate and the
mounting surface to prevent water seepage into the electrical enclosure (
Fig. 7
).

If the light head is loose and will not hold its position
tighten the screws located on the backside of the light
head that surround the pivot joint (
Fig. 4
).
NOTE
: Tighten
the screws before securing the fixture to the electrical
box.
