• When installing two fixtures on one switch, make sure the switch is rated for at least a 1A inductive load.
• Do NOT wire to a dimming switch.
• When mounting the fixture, make sure the photocell orientation is at the top.
• When mounting, make sure the fixture is 7 in. on center away from the eave and 13 inches on center away from the inside corner of the exterior wall (fig 1).

NOTE: Mounting plate (D) mounts to recessed mounted standard junction boxes. Junction box must be at least 1-1/2 inch in depth for proper installation for recessed mount application (fig 2).

2 Shut electric power off

• At wall switch verify it is in the off position (fig 1).
• At the main electrical panel turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the outlet box you are working on (fig 2).
• For screw-in type fuses unscrew the fuse that supplies power to the outlet box you are working on (fig 3).

NOTE: The mounting plate tightening bolt (C) comes pre-installed on the light fixture.

• Remove the mounting plate (D) from the back of the fixture by loosening the mounting plate tightening bolt (C) using the allen key (DD).

TIP: Only unscrew the tightening bolt (C) far enough to remove the mounting plate (D). Do not fully remove the tightening bolt (C).

• Ensure the switch powering the outlet connected to the light fixture is turned to the ON position and leave it at all times to enable dusk-to-dawn functionality to operate automatically.

(Remove Opaque Cap Cover (CC)and replace with Clear Cap Cover (F) on photocell for Dusk-to-Dawn Operation)
TIP: To test if the light fixture (A) and photocell (B) works properly run power to the fixture and cover the photocell to turn the fixture ON. Shine a light into the photocell to
see if the fixture turns OFF.
NOTE: If photocell (B) is located in an area under the heavy shade the photocell may not detect enough light and may turn the light fixture on.

Troubleshooting

Check if a circuit breaker is tripped Confirm wall switch is ON

Verify wiring to fixture is correct (turn power off to fixture beforehand)

Fixture is sensing daylight| Cover photocell. Wait several seconds until fixture turns ON.
Light cycles ON and OFF continuously| Photocell light sensor is sensing reflected light| Relocate light fixture to a location where there is no reflected light. OR place the optional opaque photocell cover over the photocell light sensor and use the wall switch to turn the light ON and OFF.
Light FLICKERS| The light fixture is wired through a dimmer switch.| Do not use a dimmer switch to control the light fixture. Replace the dimmer switch with a standard ON/OFF wall switch.
Light stays ON| Light sensor is in a shaded area| Shine a flashlight into the light sensor for a few minutes. If the light turns OFF, the fixture should be moved to a location with enough light in the daylight hours for the light sensor to work. OR place the optional cover over the photocell light sensor and use the wall switch to turn the light ON and OFF.
Light Sensor is faulty| If the light does not turn off when a flashlight is shined on the light sensor for a few minutes, then the sensor may be faulty. Please contact customer service.

NOTE: Photocell (B) may have a few-minute delay, to reduce its sensitivity to sudden light changes. When testing shine a light/cover the photocell for a few minutes to check if the fixture functions properly
