Materials Required

Hampton Bay 3 Head Outdoor Post Light
Post or column (sold separately)
Wrench or screwdriver
Electrical tape
Wire strippers
Caulk (optional)

Step 1: Mount the Post Light Base

Begin by attaching the post light base to the post or column. Place the base over the mounting bolts, ensuring it is centered. Tighten the bolts by hand, then further secure them using a wrench or screwdriver.

Step 2: Wire the Post Light

Next, you will need to wire the post light. Remove the top cover by unscrewing the screws. Expose the wire terminals inside the fixture by removing the wire nuts. Strip the ends of the supply wires and twist them together according to their colors. Connect the black supply wire to the black fixture wire, the white supply wire to the white fixture wire, and the green or bare ground wire to the green fixture wire.

Step 3: Secure the Fixture

Once the wires are connected, carefully push them back into the fixture housing. Place the top cover back onto the post light base and tighten the screws. Apply electrical tape around each of the wire connections for added security.

Step 4: Install the Globes and Bulbs

Take the provided globes and gently screw them into the sockets. Next, insert the light bulbs into the globes. Ensure that the bulbs you use are compatible with the fixture's specifications.

Step 5: Seal and Adjust

To prevent moisture infiltration, apply caulk around the base of the fixture where it meets the post or column (optional). Use a wrench or screwdriver to adjust the light heads to your desired angle, ensuring optimal illumination.

Step 6: Restore Power

Lastly, restore power to the circuit that feeds the outdoor post light. Verify that the light is functioning correctly before leaving the installation area. Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Hampton Bay 3 Head Outdoor Post Light.
