Turn off power at breaker.
Determine desired mounting location. If mounting on the wall, use the mounting template Ⓕ to mark holes on the wall at positions shown on the template. make sure you level the template. If making holes in the wall, apply waterproof caulking (see below) before attaching the mounting plate.
Separate the two halves of the floodlight by removing the two closure screws and pivoting the hinge open.

Remove the white Molex connector at the green circuit board, coming from the power supply (depress the tab and gently wiggle the connector to remove) and the black grounding wire.
Lift the front half of Niō Floodlight straight UP↑ off of the hinges of the Mounting Plate Ⓑ.
Remove the existing light fixture. Install the Mounting Plate, containing the power supply, to the junction box. Use the Junction Box Machine Screws Ⓖ to secure the Mounting Plate Ⓑ (or use Mounting Screw and Anchor Kit Ⓗ if not mounting to junction box).

Adjust the Mounting Plate Ⓑ to make sure the air bubble in the level is in the center. Firmly pull on the mounting bracket to verify it is securely mounted to the junction box.
Be sure to clean out ALL metal shavings after drilling out mounting holes. Any metal shavings that remain after installation will void warranty.
Choose one of the five conduit plugs to remove and connect the electrical conduit through it to supply power to the floodlights. Typically, there would be a ground wire between the housing and the wall that would need to be disconnected and reconnected.

Non Metallic UL Liquid Tight Electrical Conduit is not supported.
Use power input connector to complete wiring. Unscrew the three screws holding on the metallic cover, below the large metal power supply. Press tabs and insert corresponding wire into connector.

Pull wire firmly to verify secure connection. Replace metallic cover.
Attach front half of Niō Floodlight to the mounting plate Ⓑ by sliding it onto the hinges.

Reconnect white Molex connector and black grounding wire that were disconnected in Step 3.
Close the housing carefully, ensuring no wires get pinched. Ensure the gasket Ⓔ is in place and tighten the closure screws to create a proper seal. Do not overtighten.
Return power to light, and ensure the unit turns on.
