To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
1. This portable luminaire has a polarized plug (one blade

electric shock.

3. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug.

Install Remote Light

The remote light (garage door opener light)
is designed to plug directly into a standard
120V outlet. Select an appropriate location
on the ceiling to mount the light within 6
feet (1.83 m) of an electrical outlet so that
the cord and light are away from moving
parts.
1. Install the hinge and latch clips. Clips
slide in between the metal plate and
the plastic housing on each side of
the light base.
2. Install screws into the ceiling leaving
1/8 inch (3 mm) of the thread
exposed.
NOTE: If installing light on drywall
and a ceiling joist cannot be located,
use drywall anchors provided. No
pilot hole is required for drywall
anchors.
3. Determine the length of power cord
needed to reach the nearest outlet.
Wind any excess cord around cord
retainer on the top side of the light
base.
4. Install the light base by pushing onto
the screws and turning the base
clockwise to lock the light in place.
5. Install two Type A19 incandescent or
compact fluorescent bulbs (100 watt
maximum per bulb, 200 watts total).
NOTE: Do not use LED bulbs as they
may reduce the range or performance
of your remote control(s).
6. Install the light lens by hooking one
end of the lens over the hinge and
pressing up on the other end to latch
into place.
7. Plug in the light to outlet.
NOTE: Light will not operate until
the garage door opener is activated.
Multiple operators in the same garage
may cause interference between
lights. Program all lights to one
operator to avoid interference.
