A. MOUNTING
CAUTION
WARNING
Risk of fire
• Use supply wire specified on
nameplate
GENERAL
This luminaire is designed for outdoor lighting
applications, and should not be used in areas of limited
ventilation, or in high ambient temperature enclosures.
For optimum performance, it should be installed and
maintained according to the following recommendations.
UNPACKING
This luminaire has been properly packed so that no parts
should have been damaged during transit. Inspect to
confirm.
INSTALLATION
The refractor must be removed to access two bolts (on
each side of the reflector) which secures front housing to
back plate. Removal of the front housing allows access for
mounting and wiring.
Unit will fall if not installed properly
• Follow installation instructions
Outlet Box Mounting: The luminaire can be mounted to
a suitable surface-mounted outlet box (3'’ or 4'’ octagon, or
2'’x4'’ rectangular). The back plate may be attached to the
outlet box with two 10-24 screws (not provided), approximately ‘’ long. An alternate method of mounting the back
plate over a surface-mounted outlet box is to position back
plate over box and mount with two 3/8'’ bolts (not
provided) through the knock-out holes provided in the back
plate (see figure 2). Wire the unit (see Wiring). Reattach
the front housing/reflector over the back plate. For W25C
having socket mounted in front housing, plug wire assembly
must be re-connected as front housing is installed.
Figure 1
NOTE: For units marked W25C having socket
mounted in front housing, plug wire assembly
located in center top of back plate must be un-
plugged while removing front housing.
A gasket is provided with the unit to be used when
mounting over an outlet box, and should be installed
between rear of back plate and the mounting surface. If
additional sealing is desired, caulk back of housing with
generic non-hardening sealant (not provided) across the
top and down both sides.
These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or
maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred
to GE Lighting Solutions.

Through-Feed Conduit:
Note: Some units may not allow this mounting or
may require special high temperature cable. See
labels on back plate for instruction.
Knock-out holes are provided to permit mounting of the
back plate on vertical surfaces with two 3/8'’ bolts (not
provided). The -inch conduit is then positioned in the
cradles on each side of back plate and secured to back plate
with clips and screws provided (see figure 2). The conduit
may also be secured to the wall on either side of the fixture
with conduit straps (not provided). Wire the unit (see
Wiring). Knock-out the sections on each side of the front
housing using pliers, twisting inwardly. Re-attach the front
housing/reflector over the back plate. For W25C having
socket mounted in front housing, plug wire assembly must
be re-connected as front housing is installed.
Install lamp (see LAMP INSTALLATION) and re-install
refractor or cut-off optical assembly.
NOTE: Do not overcompress the gasket on acrylic
lens units as this may cause the lens to crack around
the screw holes.
B. WIRING
Make all electrical connections in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and any applicable local
code requirements.
Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it
to nameplate.
Customer wiring enters either through the center hole in
the back plate or through the conduit entrance knock-outs
on the sides of the front housing. In either case, an easy
access wiring area (see figure 2) is provided for electrical
connections.
LAMP INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Risk of burn
• Allow lamp/fixture to cool before
handling
WARNING
Risk of burn
• Do not touch operating luminaire
Use only lamps specified on nameplate. Observe
lamp manufacturer’s recommendations and
restrictions on lamp operation, particularly ballast
type, burning position, etc.
Lamp Tightness-Mogul Base Lamp: The lamp should be
securely inserted to the NEMA-EEI specified torque of 35
inch-pounds, which is best achieved by very firm tightening
sufficient to fully depress and load the center contact of the
socket.
Lamp Tightness-Medium Base Lamp: The lamp should
be tightened to a light firmness sufficient to depress the
center contact.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
It will occasionally be necessary to clean the outside of
the refractor to maintain light levels. Frequency of cleaning
will depend on ambient dirt level and minimum light level
which is acceptable to the user. The refractor should be
washed in a solution of warm water and any mild,
nonabrasive household detergent, rinsed with clean water
and wiped dry. Should the optical assembly become dirty on
the inside, wipe the reflector and clean the refractor in the
above manner.
Route incoming supply conductors through clips
provided and maintain half inch minimum spacing
from ballast and reflector.
NOTE: Connect ground lead to ground (gnd) screw
on the back plate.
Do not remove insulated connectors from wires not
needed for required voltage connection.
IF SINGLE VOLTAGE:
All single voltage ballasts are pre-wired such that user
need only connect the supply conductors.
IF MULTIVOLT: (120/208/240/277 volts)
Connect the ballast lead with the insulated terminal to
the desired voltage terminal as indicated on the ballast
terminal nameplate.
IF MULTIWATT:
Multiwatt ballasts are available in various combinations of
wattage. See wiring instructions on wiring tag inside the
luminaire.
To complete installation refer to MOUNTING.
The light output of a luminaire is dependent on the age
of the lamp. In applications where the light level is critical,
it may be desirable to replace lamps before they burn out.
The lamp manufacturer can provide data showing how the
lamp light output decreases with use.
