4. Installation Guide

This lamp post requires hardwired electrical installation. It is recommended to hire a qualified electrician for this process. Ensure power is disconnected before starting.

4.1 Site Preparation and Concrete Base

Prepare the installation site by digging a hole for the concrete base. Ensure proper depth and width for stability. Run the electrical conduit from your power source to the base location. The concrete base should be level and allow for the anchor bolts to protrude approximately 0.25 inches for secure mounting of the lamp post base.

4.2 Assembling Lantern Heads and Wiring

Before attaching the lantern heads to the main finial, connect the individual lantern wires. Ensure white wires are connected to white, and black wires are connected to black. The red wire from the photocell should be connected to the black wires of the lanterns. Secure all connections with wire nuts and electrical tape for insulation and safety.

4.3 Assembling Post Sections and Mounting

Feed the main electrical wires through the lamp post sections. It is recommended to keep the post sections disconnected while feeding the wires to avoid tangles. Once wires are fed, screw the post sections together securely. Then, carefully lift and mount the assembled lamp post onto the anchor bolts of the concrete base. Secure it with the provided nuts and washers, ensuring the post is plumb and level.

Ensure the ground wire from the lamp post is securely connected to the ground wire from your electrical supply. Use appropriate wire nuts and electrical tape for all connections. Once all connections are made, install the decorative finials on top of each lantern arm.
