- Cleaning: To clean the fixture, ensure power is off. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or glass.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing the bulb. The fixture features an open bottom for easy access to the E26 socket. Allow the old bulb to cool before removal.
- Weather Resistance: The fixture is crafted from rust-resistant aluminum and is waterproof, sunproof, snowproof, and stormproof. Periodically inspect for any debris accumulation that might obstruct the photocell sensor or drainage.
