Replacing an outdoor lighting fixture with a motion activated spotlight can conserve energy and increase home security.
Step 12: Aim and adjust the spotlights. Focus the spotlights to cover the area you wish to light. The angle of the fixture is adjusted with a screw. Loosen it to change the angle. Tighten it to lock the spotlight in place. There are also small lock nuts on the threads of the fixtures to help lock the sockets precisely into position. You can usually tighten the lock nuts with your fingers, but sometimes tapping on them with a screwdriver and a hammer can tighten them further if they slip.
Tighten the lock nuts to secure the spotlights.
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.
