How Do You Install An Outdoor Motion-Sensor Light?
Adding outdoor lighting to your property improves the look of your home after dark, and more importantly, it increases the safety and security of your property. Using motion-sensor lights saves energy, and it also means that when the lights turn on, you’ll know that someone is on your property. If your home was built in the last twenty years, you probably have lighting fixtures installed on the outside of your house already. Shut the power. Make sure to let everyone in the house know not to turn it back on until they know it’s safe to do so. Locate a fixture where you want to add a light, and place your ladder beneath it. Grab a screwdriver and voltage tester then climb up. Remove the bulbs and screws from the fixture. Test the circuit of the fixture with the voltage tester by inserting the end of the tester into the socket of the bulb. Make sure the tip touches the wires and make sure to test all the wires. Remove the nut cap and expose the wires once you are certain there is no power
