This guide assumes that you are installing your wall light on a brick wall and that the wiring has already been prepared for connection to the outdoor light.
Preparing the Light
- Remove the caps from the top and bottom of the light to insert the bulbs or replace them as needed in the future.
- Detach the bracket from the back of the light, and if the white junction box is connected to the bracket, gently pull it to separate them.
- Loosen and remove the two bolts located on either side of the light’s base; these will be reattached during the final installation step.
Drilling the Wall Holes
- Position the bracket on the wall where you plan to mount it, and use a pen to mark the locations where the holes need to be drilled.
- Prepare your electric drill with a 6mm masonry drill bit and drill the two marked holes.
- Insert the wall plugs into the drilled holes, ensuring they sit flush with the surface of the wall.
Preparing the Bracket
- Use a screwdriver to create a small opening in the silicone seal at the centre of the bracket.
- Thread your wiring through the newly-made hole.
