- Assemble the Lamp Post:
Carefully unbox all components. Connect the pole sections if they are separate. Attach the three light heads to the top section of the pole. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Wiring Connections:

Operation
Your PARTPHONER lamp post light features an advanced dusk to dawn sensor for automated operation:
- Automatic On/Off: The built-in IC sensor detects ambient light levels. The light will automatically turn on when it gets dark and turn off when daylight is detected.
- Ensure the sensor is not obstructed by objects or direct artificial light sources, as this may interfere with its proper function.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your lamp post light:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the aluminum frame and glass panels with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: To replace bulbs, ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Allow bulbs to cool before handling. Unscrew the old bulb and screw in a new E26 base bulb (max 100W).
- Inspection: Annually inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure the mounting hardware remains tight.
- Despite its IP65 rating, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the light fixture.
