Installing the Progress Lighting P710109 1-LT Wall Bracket correctly is key to both functionality and safety. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Preparation: Before you begin, verify all parts are included as shown in the contents diagrams. If anything is missing or damaged, do not proceed.
- Tools You'll Need: Gather these essential tools: a Phillips screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, safety glasses, electrical tape, and a ladder.
- Safety First: Turn off the power at your circuit breaker before starting. This is crucial for preventing electrical hazards.
- Mounting the Back Plate: Attach the back plate (CC) to your outlet box using the mounting screws that came with the outlet box. Make sure it's securely fastened.
- Making Wire Connections: Strip 3/8 inch of insulation from the ends of the electrical wires. Connect the WHITE fixture wire to the WHITE supply wire and the BLACK fixture wire to the BLACK supply wire, using wire nuts (BB).
- Grounding: Connect the fixture's ground wire and the supply ground wire together using a wire nut, or attach them to the ground screw on the back plate. Ensure all wire connections are neatly tucked inside the outlet box.
- Attaching the Fixture: Securely attach the fixture (A) to the back plate (CC) using the screws (AA). Ensure the fixture is flush against the wall.
- Installing the Bulb: Insert a lamp (not included) into the fixture socket. Use a 60-watt MAX incandescent candelabra base, SBCFL, or SBLED bulb.
- Care and Maintenance: Always shut off the power before cleaning the fixture or changing the light bulbs. Use a damp cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners or those containing alcohol.
