This document provides installation instructions and safety information for the Harbor Breeze Wall Lantern, models WL136MW and WL136MBK.

Function Description:

The Harbor Breeze Wall Lantern is an outdoor lighting fixture designed for wall mounting. It provides illumination and enhances the aesthetic appeal of the exterior of a building. The fixture is approved for use in wet locations, making it suitable for outdoor environments exposed to moisture.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Models: WL136MW, WL136MBK
  • Item Numbers: 4145472, 4145473
  • Bulb Type: One 60-watt max. standard-base incandescent bulb or CFL/LED equivalent (not included).
  • Electrical Connections: Designed to accept one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light fixture. Larger gauge wires or multiple house wires require consultation with an electrician for proper size wire connectors.
  • Grounding: Requires connection to an electrical system that provides equipment grounding. Not for use in ungrounded two-wire systems.
  • Wet Location Use: Must be connected to a supply circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) when used in wet locations.
  • Mounting: Must be mounted to an outlet box supported by the building structure. Plastic outlet boxes are not recommended.
  • Installation Height: Install fixture at least 4 ft. above the ground/floor to avoid water damage or electrical malfunction.

Usage Features:

  • Outdoor Application: Designed for exterior use, suitable for illuminating porches, patios, or other outdoor areas.
  • Dimmable (Optional): If a dimmer control switch is used, professional advice is recommended to determine the correct type and electrical rating.
  • Easy Bulb Replacement: The design allows for straightforward replacement of the light bulb. Users are cautioned to allow the bulb, shade, and cage to cool down before touching them during replacement.
  • Secure Mounting: The fixture is securely attached to a mounting strap, which in turn is fastened to an outlet box, ensuring stability.
  • Weather Sealing: After installation, the fixture's mounting surface should be caulked with silicone weather sealant to prevent water damage to the outlet box and potential electrical malfunction.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning: The fixture should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Window cleaner can be used for the shade. Abrasive cleaners should not be used on the shade or fixture.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: A troubleshooting section is included to help diagnose common issues such as the bulb not lighting or circuit breaker trips, providing possible causes and corrective actions.
  • Customer Support: A customer service department is available for questions, problems, or missing parts via phone (1-888-251-1003) or email (partsplus@lowes.com), or by visiting www.lowespartsplus.com.
  • Warranty: The distributor provides a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. The warranty covers repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price but excludes costs of installation/removal, misuse, accidental damage, improper handling/installation, and consequential damages.

Safety Information:

  • Power Disconnection: Always turn off electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker before beginning installation or maintenance to prevent electrical shock.
  • Gloves: Use gloves when handling fixture parts due to sharp edges.
  • No Suspension by Wires: Never suspend the fixture by house wires or wire connectors; it must be mounted directly to a mounting strap.
  • Wire Connector Capacity: The provided wire connectors are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fixture. Consult an electrician if house wires are larger or more numerous.
  • Wire Insulation Protection: Do not damage or cut wire insulation during installation. Prevent wires from contacting sharp edges.
  • Grounding Importance: Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical shock if fixture wires become damaged or loose. Never connect the ground wire to black (HOT) or white (NEUTRAL) house wires.
  • No Power Tools: Do not use power tools for assembly to avoid damaging the fixture.
  • Local Codes: All electrical connections must comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electric Code (NEC), and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Consult a qualified electrician for installations in older dwellings (pre-1985) with 140°F rated supply wire.
  • Wattage Limit: Do not exceed the maximum wattage stated on the fixture to prevent increased temperatures and fire risk.
