What’s Included

• HotSpot LED Battery Pack FHSBATL3-1.5
Dimming Options:
Your Betty/Bob LED wall sconce includes two dimming options as standard. You may choose either dimming option:
1. LumenSelect™ 4 level light output (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%).
2. 0-10V Dimming
LumenSelect™
Our Betty/Bob wall sconce comes the factory set at 100% light output. You may chose at the time of install from
four settings: • 100% light output • 75% light output
• 50% light output • 25% Light output
Note that the power consumption of the fixture decreases approximately in conjuction with the light output
(ie. 50% light output consumes half the power) To select, using a standard screwdriver, turn the LumenSelect™ dial
at the end of the fixture to your desired setting. You can either set your light output prior to installing your fixture
OR you may set it after you have installed the fixture.
0-10V Dimming
Note: To use the 0-10V dimming, be sure you have set your LumenSelect™ setting to 100% light output if you
have changed it from its factory pre-setting of 100%. Your Betty/Bob LED wall sconce also provides control wires
accessible from the back of the fixture that provide 0-10V dimming. To utilize the 0-10V dimming you must provide
control wires to the junction box. At the time of installation, attach Purple (DIM+) wire from back of fixture to
DIM+ control wire from junction box. Attach Gray (DIM-) wire from back of fixture to DIM+ wire from junction box.
