How do I wire my Harbor Breeze WLM141MBK Oakdale outdoor wall light?

[PaisleyRose]

Installing your Harbor Breeze WLM141MBK Oakdale 1-Light 10.25-in Black Dark Sky Outdoor Wall Light involves careful wiring. First, ensure the power is off at the circuit breaker and wall switch. Next, remove any existing fixture, disconnecting its wires. Attach the mounting strap to your outlet box with the provided screws, ensuring it's secure. Now, for the wiring: Unwrap the bare wire from the fixture's black and white wires and strip 3/4 inch of insulation from each end. Connect the bare/green ground wire from the outlet box to the bare wire from the fixture using a wire connector. Then, connect the white wire from the fixture to the white wire from the outlet box using a wire connector. Do the same with the black wires. Always twist the wire connectors clockwise. Secure the connections by wrapping each wire connector with electrical tape, extending onto the wire itself. Attach the fixture to the mounting strap with the decorative nut, using a level for alignment. Attach the shade and install a 60-watt max standard-base incandescent bulb or CFL/LED equivalent. Restore power and test the light. Finally, caulk the fixture's mounting surface with silicone sealant. Always consult your product's manual for specific instructions and seek professional help if needed.
