This document provides installation and wiring instructions for the Hinkley 13200BU outdoor wall light. Before beginning, ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring, consult a qualified electrician. For outdoor installations, weatherproofing with silicone sealant is required to prevent water ingress.
Assembly instructions
Follow these steps to mount the fixture:
- Find a clear area to work.
- Secure the threaded rod (B) to the mounting strap (A).
- Thread one hex nut (F) onto the threaded rod (B).
- Thread the other two hex nuts (F) onto the threaded rod (B) on the opposite side of the mounting strap (A).
- Secure the mounting strap (A) to the junction box (J) using the provided screws (C).
- Use the knob (D) to secure the backplate (E) to the threaded rod (B).
Wiring instructions
Make electrical connections from the supply wire to the fixture lead wires:
- Positive wire: Connect the positive supply wire (typically black or the smooth, unmarked side of the cord) to the positive fixture lead (B) using an appropriately sized twist-on connector.
- Negative wire: Connect the negative supply wire (typically white or the ribbed, marked side of the cord) to the negative fixture lead (D).
- Grounding: Fasten the fixture ground wire (E) (typically copper or green plastic coated) to the mounting strap (M) using the ground screw (S).
Glass installation
- Install a medium base bulb (G) into the fixture.
- Place the glass (F) over the bulb (G).
- Secure the glass ring (K) using the knobs (L).
- The fixture can now be powered on.
Weatherproofing
To ensure the fixture remains weather-tight for outdoor use:
- After securing the fixture to the wall, seal the gap between the wall and the fixture backplate on the top and both sides using a good quality waterproof caulk or silicone sealant.
- Apply a small bead of caulk or sealant under the ball knobs used to mount the fixture.
