Electrical shock, overheating, low or no light output, and shortened lamp life can
result if proper grounding is not done. Securely attach bare ground wire to supply
ground.

supply wire. Connect black, smooth or round fixture wire to the black hot supply
wire. Do not mix wires. Pull on each wire lead to make sure connections are secure. Make certain
no bare wires are exposed outside of wire connectors. Tuck wires into outlet box.
