Step 3: Make Electrical Connections

4. Connect Wires:
   • 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 bracket) using a wire nut.

   Ensure all wire nuts are twisted on tightly and secured with electrical tape if desired.

5. Tuck Wires: Carefully tuck all connected wires into the junction box.

Step 4: Mount the Fixture

6. Secure Fixture: Align the fixture with the mounting screws on the mounting bracket. Push the fixture onto the screws and secure it in place with the decorative nuts or screws provided. Ensure the fixture is flush against the wall.

Operating Instructions

The Hampton Bay GreyLock Vanity Light operates via a standard wall switch (not included). Once installed and powered, simply use your existing wall switch to turn the light fixture on or off.

Bulb Type: This fixture uses three (3) 60-Watt Type A bulbs (CFL or LED equivalent). For optimal performance and energy efficiency, consider using LED bulbs.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and performance of your light fixture.

• Cleaning: Always disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the brushed nickel finish. For glass shades, a mild glass cleaner can be used, applied to the cloth first, not directly to the shade. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents as they may damage the finish.
• Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing bulbs. Allow bulbs to cool completely before touching. Replace with bulbs of the same type and wattage (max 60W Type A).
