Drill an outlet hole through to the exterior siding using a power drill with 1 3/8-inch spade bit. Run 14-gauge wire from the inside location to the outdoor location. 4. Assemble the security light fixture. 5. Attach power wires to the light fixture wires and cover with wire connector nuts. 6. Roll out flexible putty and attach around the hole on the exterior of the house. This will serve as a barrier to make it weather-tight. 7.
