This document provides instructions for the Hampton Bay 1LT Exterior Wall Lantern with Photocell. The fixture features a dusk-to-dawn sensor that automatically turns the light on at dusk and off at dawn. It is designed for outdoor use and requires a 100W maximum incandescent bulb or equivalent CFL.
Tools required
Before beginning, ensure you have the following tools (not included):
- Safety goggles
- Ladder
- Gloves
- Wire strippers
- Flathead and Phillips screwdrivers
- Electrical tape
- Wire cutters
- Silicon rubber sealant for exterior use
Assembly instructions
- Unpack the fixture and lay out all parts on a clean surface.
- Install a 100W maximum incandescent bulb or equivalent SBCFL into the socket in the Fixture Frame (#17).
- Place the Nipple (#4) onto the Harp (#6) and secure with the Hex Nut (#5). Attach the Harp and Nipple to the fixture using the two Lock Nuts (#7).
- Place the Top Cover (#3) and Lock Washer (#2) over the Nipple (#4). Secure the Top Cover by screwing the Finial (#1) onto the end of the Nipple.
Installation instructions
- Preparation: Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before starting.
- Mounting: Screw the Mounting Screws (#13) into the Cross Bar (#14). Mount the Cross Bar to the Outlet Box (#16) using the Outlet Box Screws (#12). Ensure the threads of the Mounting Screws face outward.
- Wiring: Connect the ground wire from the fixture to the Ground Screw (#11) on the Cross Bar, then to the ground wire from the Outlet Box. Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the Outlet Box. Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (live) wire from the Outlet Box. Secure connections with Wire Connectors (#15) and wrap with electrical tape.
- Final Mounting: Align the fixture with the protruding Mounting Screws and secure it to the wall using the two Lock Nuts (#18).
- Sealing: Caulk the space between the wall and the upper 3/4 of the Wall Plate (#9) to prevent water ingress. Leave the bottom 1/4 uncaulked for drainage.
Testing the photocell
If it is daylight, the light will not turn on. To test the fixture, cover the Photocell (#10) with electrical tape. The light should illuminate. Remove the tape once confirmed.
Maintenance
- Clean the outside of the fixture with a dry or slightly dampened clean cloth. Use clean water only; do not use solvents.
- To clean the inside, disconnect power first, then wipe the interior glass and surface with a dry or slightly dampened cloth.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.
Troubleshooting
If the light bulb does not illuminate, check the following:
- Ensure the bulb is not burned out.
- Verify the power supply is on.
- Check for faulty wire connections.
- Test or replace the wall switch.
- If it is daylight, the photocell may be preventing operation; cover the photocell to test.
If the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips, check for crossed wires or grounding issues.
