3.1 Pre-Installation

1. Turn off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the outdoor lighting area and turn off the power. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Site Selection: Choose a stable, level location for the lamp post. The base is designed for permanent bolting to the ground or a concrete pad.
3. Tools Required: You will need basic electrical tools (wire strippers, screwdriver), a wrench, and potentially drilling equipment for mounting.

3.2 Assembly Steps

1. Assemble Post Sections: Carefully screw the post sections together, ensuring they are tightly connected and aligned.
2. Attach Base: Secure the assembled post to the base plate using the provided hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent wobbling.
3. Attach Lamp Head: Connect the lamp head to the top of the assembled post. Ensure the wiring from the lamp head can be routed down through the post.

3.3 Wiring and Mounting

1. Route Wiring: Carefully pull the electrical wires from the lamp head down through the hollow post sections and out through the base.
2. Mount the Base: Position the lamp post base over the desired mounting location. Mark the drilling points for the mounting hardware. Drill appropriate holes if necessary. Securely bolt the base to the ground or concrete pad. Note: The base requires permanent bolting for stability.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the lamp post's wires to your main power supply wires (typically black to black, white to white, and ground to ground). Use appropriate wire connectors and ensure all connections are secure and insulated. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
4. Install Bulb: Screw an E26/Medium Base bulb (not included) into the socket within the lamp head. Do not overtighten.
5. Final Checks: Ensure all components are securely fastened and all wiring connections are properly insulated and protected from moisture.

Once installation is complete, restore power at the circuit breaker.

The IBalody Outdoor Lamp Post operates via a hardwired connection to your home's electrical system.

• Power On/Off: The light is controlled by the external switch or timer connected to its electrical circuit.
