5. Setup and Installation
These fixtures are pre-assembled for easy installation. Follow these steps:
- Turn Off Power: Before starting, ensure the power to the installation area is turned off at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
- Prepare Mounting Surface: If replacing an existing fixture, carefully remove it. Ensure the electrical box is clean and accessible.
- Install Mounting Bracket: Attach the provided mounting bracket to the electrical box using the screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the fixture's wires to your house wiring. Typically, connect the black wire (live) from the fixture to the black wire from the electrical box, the white wire (neutral) from the fixture to the white wire from the electrical box, and the ground wire (copper or green) from the fixture to the ground wire from the electrical box. Use wire nuts to secure connections.
- Mount the Fixture: Carefully align the fixture with the mounting bracket and secure it with the provided screws. Ensure the fixture is flush against the wall.
- Install Bulb: Insert the included E26 base bulb into the socket. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once the fixture is securely installed and the bulb is in place, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

6. Operating Instructions
The WIHTU outdoor wall light fixtures are equipped with an advanced dusk-to-dawn photocell sensor for automatic operation.
- Automatic On/Off: The built-in sensor detects ambient light levels. The fixture will automatically turn on when it gets dark (dusk) and turn off when it becomes light (dawn).
- Energy Saving: This automatic functionality ensures the lights are only on when needed, conserving energy and reducing electricity costs.
- Sensor Placement: Ensure the sensor on the fixture is not obstructed by objects, eaves, or other light sources (like other bright lights or reflections) that could interfere with its ability to accurately detect ambient light.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain the appearance and performance of your light fixtures, clean them periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Bulb Replacement: These fixtures use standard E26 base bulbs. To replace a bulb, turn off the power at the circuit breaker, unscrew the old bulb, and screw in a new E26 bulb (maximum 60 watts).
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring and fixture for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
