4.1 Mounting Options

The TORCHSTAR LED Barn Light supports both wall mount and pole (tenon) mount installations.

Diagram showing steps for wall mount and pole mount installation
Figure 1: Installation Methods. This image illustrates the two primary installation methods: wall mount and pole (tenon) mount. For wall mounting, drill three holes using the fixture arm as a template, then secure with lag screws and plastic anchors. For pole mounting, remove the pole mounting screw, slide the fixture onto a tenon pole (sold separately), and re-attach the screw to secure it.

  1. Connect the black wire from the fixture to the live/hot wire from your power supply.
  2. Connect the white wire from the fixture to the neutral wire from your power supply.
  3. Connect the green wire from the fixture to the ground wire from your power supply.
  4. Secure all connections with appropriate wire nuts and ensure they are properly insulated.

4.3 Suggested Mounting Height

For optimal light distribution, it is recommended to mount the fixture at a maximum height of 25 feet.

Figure 3: Light Spread at Various Heights. This diagram shows the approximate light coverage (forward throw and wall spread) at different mounting heights (Z) for the 80W setting. For wall-mount applications, forward throw (X) is approximately half of the wall spread (Y).

5. Operating Instructions

The TORCHSTAR LED Barn Light features adjustable wattage, selectable color temperature, and a dusk-to-dawn photocell for automated operation.

5.1 Adjustable Wattage and Color Temperature

The fixture allows you to select between 40W, 60W, or 80W power consumption and 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K color temperatures. These settings are typically adjusted via internal switches on the fixture before final installation or by accessing the fixture if already installed. Refer to the product diagram for switch locations.

If the fixture fails to operate properly, use the guide below to diagnose and correct the problem:

  1. Verify that power is turned on at the switch and breaker box.
  2. Verify that the fixture is wired properly.
  3. Test that line voltage is correct.
  4. Test if the photocell works properly. The photocell is designed to turn on at low light levels.
  5. If the light does not come on or stay on, test the photocell by covering it. If it's operating properly, the light should come on.
  6. Shine a flashlight into the photocell. The light should go off.
