[April]

To ensure a safe and proper installation of your HINKLEY 42005 13 Inch Black Flush Mount Ceiling Light, follow these wiring and grounding instructions. Wiring Instructions: 1. Indoor Fixtures: Connect the positive supply wire (typically black or smooth) to the positive fixture lead and the negative supply wire (typically white or ribbed) to the negative fixture lead using twist-on connectors. 2. Outdoor Fixtures: Follow the same wiring process as indoor fixtures. Seal the connectors with silicone sealant to create a watertight seal. 3. Wall Mount Fixtures: Seal any gaps between the fixture mounting plate and the wall with caulk to prevent water from entering. Grounding Instructions: 1. Flush Mount Fixtures (3-wire system): Attach the fixture ground wire (usually copper or green) to the fixture mounting strap using the provided ground screw. 2. Chain Hung Fixtures: Loop the fixture ground wire under the head of the ground screw on the fixture mounting strap and connect it to the building's ground wire using a twist-on connector. 3. Post-Mount Fixtures: Connect the fixture ground wire to the power supply ground inside the post with a twist-on connector, and then seal the open end with silicone sealant. Adhering to these guidelines will help you safely install your HINKLEY ceiling light.
