PREPARATION
1. Shut off the power at the circuit breaker and
remove existing fixture, including the crossbar.
2. Carefully unpack your new fixture and lay out
all the parts on a clear area. Be careful not to
lose any small parts necessary for installation.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE (Fig. 1)
3. Remove the mounting screw (B) and rubber
gasket (C) from the mounting backplate.
4. Secure the mounting back plate to the junction
box using standard junction box screws that
comes with the junction box.(For model
WS-W54016 and WS-W42020, drill holes in the
wall aligned with the key holes in the mounting
backplate, insert the plastic anchors (E),fasten
the mounting backplate to the wall using wood
screw (D).
Note:
(i) using any other non-original-manufacturer provided junction box screw may result in safty issue;
(ii) The side of the mounting plate marked “GND” must face out.
CONNECTING THE WIRES (Fig. 2)
5. Connect the fixture’s wires to junction box wires as shown in Fig. 2, making sure that all wire connectors (A) are secured. If your outlet box has
a green or bare copper ground wire, connect the fixture’s ground wire to it. Otherwise, connect the fixture’s ground wire directly to the back
plate using the green screw provided. After wires are connected, tuck them carefully inside the junction box.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
6. Secure the fixture to the mounting back plate using the mounting screw (B)
and rubber gasket (C).
7. Insert the glass into the lamp cap, then push the glass up to the spring until
the glass is fully positioned within the fixture. Release the glass gently to
prevent any external damages from all the tensional spring and make slight
adjustment to allow the glass properly aligned with the fixture body.
8. To prevent moisture from entering the outlet box and causing a short, use
clear caulking (i.e. indoor/outdoor silicone sealant) to outline the outside
of fixture back plate where it meets the wall. Leave a space at the bottom to
allow moisture to escape Fig.3
