How Do You Install An Outdoor Post Lighting Fixture?

You have to first follow the basic rules before installing the outdoor lighting, including checking the local codes regarding the outdoor lighting, using the type UF cable for installations, using only those materials that have the approval of the Underwriter's Laboratory (which is abbreviated as the UL), ensure the cable which is used for underground installations contains a grounding conductor, using a conduit to protect the exposed part of the cable (or the entire cable, if required), using a ground fault interrupter (or GFI) to protect the outdoor circuit, burying the underground cable between 18 and 24 inches deep, using weatherproof equipment to install outdoor wiring and making sure the electrical current is shut off at the main switch before the underground wiring tie-in process begins.

After following the basic procedure, you can install an outdoor post lighting fixture by installing underground from the house, attaching lighting fixtures and outlets to a buried cable, installing post lantern yard lights and properly grounding the outdoor fixtures.
