Installation Steps
- Turn Off Power: Before starting installation, ensure the power to the circuit you are working on is turned off at the main electrical panel (circuit breaker or fuse box).
- Prepare Mounting Surface: If replacing an existing fixture, carefully remove it. Ensure the junction box is securely mounted and accessible.
- Attach Mounting Plate: Secure the mounting plate (included) to the junction box using the provided screws. Ensure the plate is level and firmly attached.
- Make Electrical Connections:
- Connect the black wire from the fixture to the black (hot) wire from the junction box using a wire nut.
- Connect the white wire from the fixture to the white (neutral) wire from the junction box using a wire nut.
- Connect the ground wire (bare copper or green) from the fixture to the ground wire from the junction box (or to the green ground screw on the mounting plate) using a wire nut.
- Ensure all connections are secure and no bare wire is exposed. Wrap connections with electrical tape if desired for added insulation.
- Mount the Fixture: Carefully align the fixture with the mounting plate and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure the fixture is flush against the mounting surface.
- Install Bulb: Insert one 100W Type A bulb (E26 base) into the socket of each lantern. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all components are secure, turn the power back on at the main electrical panel. Test the fixture to ensure it is working correctly.

Operating Instructions
The Canarm Outdoor Wall Lanterns are designed for simple operation. Once properly installed and wired, they are controlled by your standard wall switch connected to the circuit. Simply toggle the wall switch to turn the lights ON or OFF.
- Ensure the correct bulb type (100W Type A, E26 base) is installed for optimal performance and safety.
- For energy efficiency, consider using LED bulbs equivalent to 100W incandescent.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your outdoor wall lanterns.
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure the power is off. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs. Allow the old bulb to cool completely before removal. Screw in the new 100W Type A (E26 base) bulb firmly but gently.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and mounting for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Address any issues promptly.
