6. Install Bulb: Candelabra base bulbs are inserted and screwed snugly into the sockets from the bottom of the glass frame.
7. Apply Silicone Sealer to Mounting Balls: Silicone sealer is applied to the threaded side of the mounting balls before they are installed to prevent moisture entry.
8. Apply Silicone Sealer to Backplate: Exterior-grade caulk is applied around the perimeter of the backplate where it meets the wall, ensuring proper sealing while allowing for moisture drainage at the bottom.

Safety Warnings and Cautions:

• Electrical Disconnection: Emphasizes turning off electricity at the circuit breaker or main fuse box before installation or bulb replacement.
• Professional Installation: Strongly recommends that a licensed, professional electrician perform the installation.
