Safety Precautions

• WARNING: Always turn off the electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before installing or servicing this fixture.
• Ensure all wiring connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, during installation.
• Do not install on surfaces that are not structurally sound.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Location: Select a suitable outdoor wall location, ensuring it is clear of obstructions and has access to a standard electrical junction box.
2. Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the power to the installation area and switch it to the "OFF" position. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
3. Mount the Bracket: Attach the fixture's mounting bracket to the electrical junction box using the provided screws. Ensure the bracket is securely fastened.
4. Wire Connections: Connect the fixture's wires to the household electrical wires. Typically, connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (live) wire from the wall, the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the wall, and the green or bare copper ground wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the wall. Secure all connections with wire nuts.
5. Secure the Fixture: Carefully tuck all wires into the junction box. Align the fixture body with the mounting bracket and secure it in place using the provided screws.
6. Install Bulb: Insert the included 35-Watt sodium bulb into the fixture's socket. Do not overtighten.
7. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
8. Test Operation: The light should turn on automatically when it gets dark and turn off when it is light.

Operating Instructions

The Globe Electric 33605 Photocell Security Wall Light Fixture is designed for automatic, hands-free operation, thanks to its integrated photocell sensor.

• Automatic On/Off: The photocell sensor continuously monitors ambient light levels. When natural light diminishes at dusk, the sensor will trigger the light to turn on. Conversely, when natural light increases at dawn, the sensor will turn the light off.
• Optimal Placement: For best performance, ensure the photocell sensor (small circular lens on the fixture) is not obstructed by overhangs, trees, or other objects. Avoid installing the fixture where direct artificial light (e.g., from another porch light, street light, or window) might shine onto the sensor, as this could prevent it from turning on at night.
• Initial Operation: Upon initial power-up, the light may take a few moments to calibrate or may turn on briefly before turning off if it is daytime. This is normal behavior.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Globe Electric security light.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the fixture and the photocell lens with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish or the sensor. A clean photocell ensures accurate dusk-to-dawn operation.
• Bulb Replacement:
  1. Before replacing the bulb, always turn off the power to the fixture at the circuit breaker.
  2. Allow the bulb to cool completely if it has been recently in use.
  3. Carefully unscrew the old bulb from the socket.
  4. Install a new 35-Watt sodium bulb (or a compatible replacement bulb with the correct wattage and base type) into the socket. Ensure it is screwed in firmly but do not overtighten.
  5. Restore power at the circuit breaker.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
