6. Setup and Installation

These post lights offer two primary installation methods:

6.1. Pier Mount Installation

This method is suitable for mounting the fixture on flat surfaces such as pillars, columns, or other elevated platforms.

1. Preparation: Turn off power at the main circuit breaker.
2. Positioning: Place the pier mount base on the desired flat surface. Mark the drilling points for the mounting screws.
3. Drilling: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
4. Wiring: Route the electrical wires from the power source through the center opening of the pier mount base. Connect the fixture's wires to your household wiring according to standard electrical codes (black to black, white to white, ground to ground). Secure connections with wire nuts.
5. Mounting: Secure the pier mount base to the surface using appropriate screws (not always included, check package contents).
6. Fixture Attachment: Attach the light fixture body to the pier mount base, ensuring a secure fit.
7. Bulb Installation: Install an E26 base bulb (max 100W) into the socket.

6.2. Pole Mount Installation

This method is for mounting the fixture atop a standard 3-inch outer diameter light pole (pole not included).

1. Preparation: Turn off power at the main circuit breaker.
2. Pole Preparation: Ensure the light pole is securely installed and has electrical wiring routed through it.
3. Wiring: Route the electrical wires from the pole through the bottom opening of the light fixture. Connect the fixture's wires to the pole's wiring (black to black, white to white, ground to ground). Secure connections with wire nuts.
4. Mounting: Slide the light fixture onto the top of the 3-inch diameter pole. Secure it in place using the provided set screws or other fastening mechanisms.
5. Bulb Installation: Install an E26 base bulb (max 100W) into the socket.

7. Operating Instructions

Your FILIYANO Outdoor Post Lights offer flexible control options:

7.1. Automatic Dusk to Dawn Mode

The integrated photocell sensor automatically manages the light's operation based on ambient light levels.

• Ensure the photocell sensor is unobstructed and clean.
• The light will automatically turn on when the ambient brightness drops below approximately 20 LUX (at dusk).
• The light will automatically turn off when sufficient daylight is detected (at dawn).

7.2. Manual Control Mode

If you prefer to control the light manually, you can disable the dusk-to-dawn sensor.

• Locate the small rubber cap included with your fixture.
• Carefully place the rubber cap over the photocell sensor. Ensure it fits tightly to prevent light from reaching the sensor.
• Once the sensor is covered, the light fixture will operate via your external wall switch, allowing you to turn it on and off as desired.

8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your post lights.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the glass panels and metal surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or glass.
• Sensor Check: Ensure the photocell sensor remains clear of dirt, debris, or obstructions for proper automatic operation.
• Bulb Replacement: Turn off power at the circuit breaker before replacing bulbs. Allow the bulb to cool completely before handling.
• Inspection: Annually inspect wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Tighten any loose connections.
