4. Setup & Installation
The VIANIS Outdoor Wall Light is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare for Installation: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Ensure you have all necessary tools (screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, etc.).
- Mounting Bracket Installation: Attach the mounting bracket to your junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the fixture's wires to your household wiring. Typically, black to black (live), white to white (neutral), and green or bare copper to ground. Secure connections with wire nuts.
- Fixture Mounting: Carefully align the fixture with the mounting bracket and secure it using the provided screws or nuts.

5. Operating Instructions
The VIANIS Outdoor Wall Light features an advanced dusk-to-dawn photocell sensor for automatic operation:
- Automatic ON at Dusk: The sensor detects when ambient light levels fall below a certain threshold (dusk) and automatically turns the light on.
- Automatic OFF at Dawn: The sensor detects when ambient light levels rise above a certain threshold (dawn) and automatically turns the light off.
- Ensure the sensor is not obstructed by objects or direct artificial light sources, as this may interfere with its operation.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure power is off. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new E26 base bulb (Max 100W). Ensure the new bulb is compatible with the dusk-to-dawn sensor if using LED.
- Weather Resistance: The fixture is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a matte black finish, making it waterproof, anti-rust, and weather-resistant. Periodically inspect for any signs of wear or damage to maintain its protective qualities.

7. Troubleshooting
- Light does not turn on at dusk: Check if the power is on at the circuit breaker. Ensure the bulb is correctly installed and not burnt out. Verify the dusk-to-dawn sensor is not obstructed or receiving too much ambient light.
- Light does not turn off at dawn: Ensure the sensor is not obstructed or covered, preventing it from detecting daylight.
- Flickering: If using an LED bulb, ensure it is a dimmable LED bulb (6-8W) as recommended for compatibility with the sensor.
- Water inside fixture: Ensure all seals and connections were properly tightened during installation. If the issue persists, consult a professional.
