The first step is the most important one for your safety. Be sure to shut off the power to the light before you start dismantling the original light so you don’t accidentally electrocute yourself. Once there is no longer power to the socket, use a screwdriver to remove the existing fixture, then use your voltage tester to test the exposed wires, ensuring the power is completely off.

Next, connect the wires of your new light to the wiring in the mount. Use wire connectors to match up and connect the three types of wires so that the new light will have power.

·  Hotwire(black)

· Neutral wire (white)

· Ground wire (typically green or copper)

Once the wires are properly connected, follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the light fixture to mount it into place. The light you purchased should include all parts and hardware needed to mount it. If not, contact the manufacturer for further instructions and to obtain the correct materials.

Now, it’s time to test the light. Walk across it, in front of it, around it, far away, and close by. Feel free to have some fun by sneaking up on it or moving around corners so you can get a feel for how and where the sensor detects movement. On many models, you can adjust the sensitivity and range of the motion sensor in case the light is turning on too often or not detecting movement well enough.

Outdoor lights on your home are essential to your safety, security, and convenience, and these security lights with motion sensors can provide you and your family with much-needed peace of mind.
