3. Operating Instructions
The GLOBE Electric 65000134 Wall Sconce is designed for simple operation.
3.1 Turning On/Off
Locate the inline on/off rocker switch on the cord (for plug-in models) or the integrated switch on the fixture (for hardwired models, if applicable). Press the switch to turn the light on or off.
3.2 Adjusting Brightness (Dimmable)
If you have installed a dimmable bulb and your hardwired setup includes a compatible dimmer switch, you can adjust the light intensity. For plug-in models, the inline rocker switch typically provides on/off functionality only. To achieve dimming with a plug-in setup, you would need to use a smart bulb with app control or a compatible plug-in dimmer (sold separately).
