3. Installation Instructions
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your HYPERLITE Parking Lot Light. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician.
3.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify that the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning any work.
- Ensure you have all necessary tools: screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, measuring tape, and a ladder or lift for high installations.
- Confirm the mounting pole or surface is sturdy enough to support the fixture's weight (approximately 13.5 lbs).
- Unpack the fixture and inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately.
3.2 Mounting the Fixture (Slip Fitter Mount)
- Attach the slip fitter mounting bracket to the light fixture using the provided hardware.
- Slide the slip fitter onto the round pole. The slip fitter is designed for poles with a diameter of approximately 2.36 inches (Ø2.36").
- Secure the slip fitter to the pole by tightening the screws on the bracket. Ensure the fixture is firmly attached and does not wobble.
- Adjust the angle of the light fixture as needed. The adjustable design allows for 0-180° rotation to direct light precisely. Tighten the adjustment bolts once the desired angle is achieved.


3.3 Electrical Connections
The fixture operates on 100-277 Volts (AC). Follow standard electrical wiring procedures:
- 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 wire from the fixture to the Ground wire from the power supply.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with electrical tape or wire nuts.
3.4 Photocell Setup
The integrated dusk-to-dawn photocell allows the light to operate automatically. The photocell sensor is located on the fixture.
- To enable the photocell function, ensure the small black cap is removed from the sensor.
- To disable the photocell function (e.g., for manual control or testing), place the small black cap over the sensor.

4. Operating Instructions
The HYPERLITE Parking Lot Light is designed for simple, automatic operation once properly installed.
4.1 Automatic Operation (Dusk-to-Dawn)
With the photocell enabled (cap removed), the light will automatically:
- Turn ON: When ambient light levels drop below a certain threshold (at dusk).
- Turn OFF: When ambient light levels rise above a certain threshold (at dawn).
This feature ensures optimal energy efficiency by only operating when illumination is required.
4.2 Manual Operation
If you wish to control the light manually (e.g., via a wall switch or timer), ensure the photocell is disabled by placing the black cap over the sensor. The light will then respond to the power supply's on/off state.
4.3 Dimmable Feature
The HYPERLITE Parking Lot Light is designed to be dimmable. To utilize this feature, a compatible external dimmer switch (not included) must be installed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the dimmer switch's instructions for proper wiring and operation.
5. Maintenance
The HYPERLITE Parking Lot Light is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable construction and IP65 rating. However, periodic checks can help ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate and affect light output or photocell operation. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the fixture for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or wear on the wiring. Ensure all mounting bolts remain tight.
- Photocell: Ensure the photocell sensor remains clear of obstructions (e.g., leaves, bird nests) that could interfere with its automatic operation.
Always disconnect power to the fixture before performing any maintenance.
