Before attempting to install an outdoor wall light yourself, if you're not comfortable working with electrical wiring or installation, we strongly recommend contacting a licensed electrician in your area. Professional electricians will be able to complete the installation easily and safely.

Before beginning your installation, make sure to fully read the included instructions for your light. Be sure to follow these instructions throughout the process. Also, make sure that the wall power switch is in the off position, and that the power for that area is turned off at the breaker box. To double check that the electricity is turned off, you can use a voltage meter on the wires in the wall junction box.

Typically, outdoor wall lights will come with the following: a wall plate, the light itself with the integrated LED array or bulb socket, any included bulbs, a glass diffuser element, and the screws and any additional hardware. While the screws provided should work in most cases, there may be instances where you will need to source your own. As for tools, you will need the following: a screwdriver, a wire cutter, and a step ladder.

The wall light design in this video uses a mounting plate. Secure the mounting plate into the junction box using the included screws before continuing on to the wiring. There should be three end wires: a white wire, a black wire, and a copper ground wire.

First, wrap your ground wire around the grounding screw, and tighten the screw. Then, use a twist-on connection nut to tie the ground wires together. Strip about a half inch of insulation from your white and black wires, then use the same twist-on nuts to connect the white and black wires from the wall light to the white and black wires from the junction box. Then carefully tuck the wires back inside the junction box.

Next, attach the light to the mounting plate using the screws and other parts provided with your item. Then install your bulbs and turn the power back on to ensure that the light is working properly.

For finishing touches, use a bead of clear calking around the wall plate where it meets the wall to make sure that no moisture gets inside your light. When doing this make sure to leave a small gap at the bottom to allow any condensation to escape.
