  2. Run the wire from the luminaire through the mounting hole in the top of the ground spike.
  3. Attach the luminaire to the ground spike by threading it into the mounting hole and locking it in place.
  4. Place the spike in the desired position and insert it into the ground until the flange of the spike is flush with the ground.
  5. Strip the two wire leads from the luminaire and connect them to the main supply wire using the provided silicone-filled wire nut.

Cedar Maintenance

The CD finish features a thin, clear, non-UV inhibiting lacquer applied at the factory to minimize natural color changes before installation. You may maintain the wood using methods typical for a cedar deck.

To perform maintenance, remove the cedar component:

  1. Unscrew the two hex screws from the back of the fixture.
  2. Slide the cedar up and off the metal fixture.
