SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
• If using this light fixture in a WET of DAMP location, this light fixture must be connected to a supply
circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal
injury, electrical shock or death.
• DO NOT connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for
equipment grounding. Never use a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. Installing
a fixture into an electrical system not having a proper grounding means could cause metal
parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents if any of the fixture wires, wire connections or
splices were to become broken, cut or loose during the mounting or normal operation of the
fixture. Under this condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture would be subject to
electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT)
current-carrying wire or the white neutral house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture
ground wire to the black or white house wires may cause metal parts of the fixture to carry
electrical currents. Under this condition anyone coming in contact with the fixture will receive
electrical shock, which could cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of fixture. DO NOT permit
wires to contact any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation,
which could cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
WARNING
• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National
Electric Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn
about your local codes, permits and/or inspections.
have supply wire rated for 140°F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with
sharp edges.
• DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly
to a mounting strap which is first attached to the outlet box. Wire connectors will not support the
weight of a fixture. Suspending a fixture by the house wires and wire connectors will result in the
fixture falling, with the possibility of personal injury and the danger of electrical shock or fire.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this
light fixture are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light
fixture. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect
to the corresponding fixture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to
use.
• To avoid water damage to fixture or possible electrical malfunction, install fixture at least 4 ft.
above the ground/floor.
• Failure to caulk fixture mounting surface with silicone weather sealant may result in water damage
in outlet box, which may cause electrical malfunction or electrical shock.
