Wiring and grounding your HINKLEY 10014 Leaping Trout Rustic Antique Copper Ceiling Light Fixture correctly is crucial for safety. Here's how, based on the provided instructions:

Wiring:

• Indoor Fixtures: Connect the positive supply wire (usually black or smooth) to the positive fixture lead. Connect the negative supply wire (usually white or ribbed) to the negative fixture lead.
• Outdoor Fixtures: Connect the positive supply wire (typically black or smooth) to the positive fixture lead. Connect the negative supply wire (typically white or ribbed) to the negative fixture lead. For outdoor installations, seal the open ends of the connectors with silicone sealant.

Grounding:

• Flush Mount Fixtures: Attach the fixture ground wire (copper or green plastic coated) to the fixture mounting strap using a ground screw.
• Chain Hung Fixtures: Loop the fixture ground wire under the head of the ground screw on the fixture mounting strap. Then, connect it to the building's grounding wire.
• Post-Mount Fixtures: Connect the fixture ground wire to the power supply ground wire using a twist-on connector inside the post.

Always remember to disconnect the power supply before beginning any electrical work. If you're unsure about any step, consult a qualified electrician. This ensures a safe and correctly installed HINKLEY 10014 Leaping Trout fixture.
