Can I install it myself or do I need an electrician?

⚠ Warning - Risk of electric shock: To avoid possible injuries, always turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.

The installation is similar to replacing a standard outdoor light fixture. Most homeowners can complete it themselves if they are comfortable working with electrical wiring.  

Consider hiring a licensed electrician if:

• You are unfamiliar with electrical wiring
• Your junction box does not have the required wiring (hot, neutral, and ground)
• Local codes require professional installation for hardwired fixtures

EU/UK/ANZ customers: Professional installation is recommended. Electrical regulations vary by country, and a qualified electrician can ensure your installation meets local wiring standards.

What wires do I need in my junction box?

Your junction box must have the following wires for a successful installation:

• Hot (Line/Live): Typically, black (US) or brown (EU/UK)
• Neutral: Typically, white (US) or blue (EU/UK)
• Ground: Typically, green or bare copper (US) or green/yellow (EU/UK)

Important: If your junction box does not have a neutral wire, or your installation looks different from our setup guide, contact a licensed professional for assistance.
