   • Using the provided wire connectors:
     • Connect the black wire from the lamp to the black (hot) wire from your power source.
     • Connect the white wire from the lamp to the white (neutral) wire from the power source.
     • Attach the ground wire to the mounting bar and secure it.

3. Attach the Canopy: Position the lamp's canopy against the outlet box and secure it using the ball nut and mounting hardware.
