Installing the Signature Hardware 941510 Shockoe Single Light 14 Inch Tall LED Outdoor Wall Sconce correctly ensures optimal performance and longevity. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Safety First: Power Off: Begin by turning off the power to the circuit controlling the existing outdoor light fixture at the circuit breaker. Remove the old fixture completely, including the crossbar.
-
Unpack and Inventory: Carefully unpack your new Signature Hardware Shockoe sconce and all its components. Lay everything out in a clear, organized space to avoid losing small parts. Ensure you have all the necessary items.
-
Mounting Plate Prep: Attach the two Mounting Screws (C) to the Mounting Plate (E). Adjust the screw length if needed. Then, secure the Mounting Plate (E) to your existing Outlet Box (G) using the Outlet Box Screws (B).
-
Wiring Connections: This step is crucial for safe and correct operation:
- Connect the black wire from the Signature Hardware fixture to the black (hot) house wire.
- Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) house wire.
- Securely fasten all wire connections with wire nuts. For added safety, consider wrapping these connections with electrical tape.
- If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or bare copper), connect the fixture's ground wire to it. If not, connect the fixture's ground wire directly to the Mounting Plate (E) using the provided green screw.
- Carefully tuck all wire connections neatly into the junction box.
-
Fixture Attachment: Now, attach the Fixture (H) to the Mounting Plate. Insert the two Mounting Screws (C) through the fixture and secure them with the two Cap Nuts (F).
-
Weatherproofing: To protect against moisture, apply a bead of clear, indoor/outdoor silicone sealant around the outside edge of the fixture's backplate where it meets the wall. Leave a small gap at the bottom to allow any potential moisture to escape.
-
Final Verification: Before restoring power, thoroughly double-check all connections to ensure they are secure and that the fixture is properly mounted. Then, restore power at the circuit breaker.
By following these instructions, you should successfully install your Signature Hardware 941510 Shockoe Single Light Outdoor Wall Sconce. For further details, consult the product manual, or contact Signature Hardware customer support for assistance.
