3. Installation Instructions
Safety First: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the installation area is turned off at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: This flood light is designed for wall mount installation using a 1/2 NTP arm mount. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy and capable of supporting the fixture's weight. A suitable junction box (not included) is required for wiring.
- Attach Mounting Arm: Secure the 1/2 NTP arm mount to the junction box or mounting surface. Ensure it is tightened properly to prevent movement.
- Wiring Connections:
- Connect the black wire from the fixture to the live (hot) wire from the power supply.
- Connect the white wire from the fixture to the neutral wire from the power supply.
- Connect the green or bare copper wire from the fixture to the ground wire from the power supply.
- Mount the Fixture: Attach the flood light fixture to the mounting arm. Tighten all screws to secure the light in place.
- Adjust Light Direction: Utilize the 180-degree adjustable knuckle to direct the light beam to the desired area. Tighten the adjustment screw once the desired angle is achieved.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.

4. Operating Instructions
The kadision LED Flood Light is equipped with a built-in dusk-to-dawn photocell for automatic operation.
- Automatic On/Off: Once installed and powered, the photocell sensor will detect ambient light levels. The flood light will automatically turn on when it detects insufficient natural light (dusk) and turn off when sufficient natural light is present (dawn).
- No Manual Control Required: This feature eliminates the need for manual switching or external timers.
- Photocell Placement: Ensure the photocell sensor (typically a small clear dome on the fixture) is not obstructed by objects, dirt, or other light sources, as this can interfere with its proper function.

5. Maintenance
The kadision LED Flood Light is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and inspection will help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens and the photocell sensor with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. Ensure the mounting arm remains securely fastened.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The LED light source is integrated and not user-replaceable. Do not attempt to open the sealed housing.
