This guide provides instructions for the Hampton Bay Wickford 1-Light Outdoor Pendant. Before beginning, ensure you have all necessary tools and that the power is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Inspect all wires for damage before installation. This fixture requires one E26 100-watt bulb (not included).
Tools required
To install this fixture, you will need the following tools:
- Ladder
- Safety glasses
- Electrical tape
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flat blade screwdriver
- Pliers
- Wire strippers
Installation
1. Secure the light fixture: Attach the mounting unit (AA) to your junction box using the mounting screws (BB). Remove the pre-installed screw collar ring. Place the canopy (B) over the screw collar loop on the mounting unit. Turn the screw collar ring until half of the threads are exposed. Secure the chain (C) to the screw collar loop. Weave the electrical and ground wires through the chain, canopy, and the center of the mounting unit.
2. Making the electrical connections: Connect the copper wire from the light fixture to the mounting unit using the preinstalled ground screw. Connect the black wire to the black (power) wire and the white wire to the white (neutral) wire using the provided wire nuts (CC). Secure these connections with electrical tape. If wires are the same color, attach the smooth wire with H markings to the black wire and the ribbed wire with N markings to the white wire.
3. Final assembly: Secure the canopy to the mounting unit using the screw collar ring. Install one E26 100-watt bulb (not included).
Operation and Maintenance
To turn the light on, simply use the wall switch. To clean the fixture, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any cleaners containing chemicals, solvents, or harsh abrasives.
Troubleshooting
If the bulb will not light, ensure the power supply is on, the circuit breaker is in the 'On' position, and check the wiring connections. If the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips when the light is turned on, check for crossed wires or a power wire that is grounding out. If issues persist, contact Hampton Bay Customer Service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON.
