Replacing an outdoor lighting fixture with a motion activated spotlight can conserve energy and increase home security.
Step 7: Add any necessary mounting straps. Some spotlights with motion detectors, like this one, require special mounting straps to be installed inside the electrical box. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with your fixture for proper assembly and installation. Install the mounting strap.
Warning! Electricity is inherently dangerous. If you are installing a motion sensor light in an area where there is currently no outdoor light, you’ll need to contact an electrician to wire the fixture for you. We do not recommend that you attempt to do this wiring yourself. If you are uncertain about any stage of this installation or if you experience any problems, call an electrician.
