5. Setup and Installation
Important: Ensure the main power supply is switched off at the circuit breaker before commencing installation.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable outdoor location for the pedestal light, ensuring it is on a stable, level surface and has access to the necessary electrical wiring.
- Prepare Wiring: If not already present, run appropriate outdoor-rated electrical cable to the installation point. Consult a qualified electrician for this step.
- Mount the Base: Position the mounting base on the desired surface. Mark the drilling points through the holes in the base. Drill pilot holes and secure the base using the provided mounting hardware (screws and anchors). Ensure the base is firmly attached.
- Connect Electrical Wires: Carefully connect the electrical wires from your power supply to the terminals inside the fixture. Follow the standard wiring color codes (e.g., Live, Neutral, Earth). Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Install Bulb: Insert a suitable E27 bulb (not included) into the lamp holder. Do not overtighten.
- Secure Fixture: Attach the main body of the pedestal light to the mounted base, ensuring it is securely fastened and sealed against moisture.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the main circuit breaker.

6. Operating Instructions
The BOSTON Pedestal Light features an integrated motion sensor for automatic operation.
- Power On: Once installed and power is restored, the light will enter a warm-up period (typically a few seconds) before the motion sensor becomes active.
- Motion Sensor: The integrated motion sensor detects movement within its detection range. When motion is detected, the light will illuminate.
- Automatic Shut-off: After a period of no detected motion, the light will automatically turn off. The duration of illumination is typically pre-set or adjustable via controls on the sensor (if available). Refer to the sensor's specific markings for adjustment options.
- Day/Night Sensor: The motion sensor also includes a photocell that prevents the light from activating during daylight hours, conserving energy. The light will only activate due to motion when ambient light levels are low enough.
