Detailed Description

The sconce uses an integrated LED assembly rather than a traditional replaceable bulb. Light is distributed through the fixture’s linear housing for broad wall illumination. A three-position CCT switch inside the canopy lets you choose a warmer 2700K appearance, a balanced 3000K white, or a cooler 3500K setting.

Main installation components include the fixture back plate, mounting plate, conversion plate, mounting ring, driver, wire connectors, junction box screws, mounting screws, assembly screws, and adjustable nuts. The driver must be recessed inside the switch box or junction box, depending on the selected mounting method.

The back plate can be repositioned after the mounting hardware is loosened. This feature is useful when the wall box and finished mounting position do not align exactly.

Setup and Operation

Before Installation

1. Switch off the circuit breaker or remove the appropriate fuse.
2. Turn the wall switch off.
3. Check the package for missing or damaged parts.
4. Identify whether the fixture will be installed on a switch box or a junction box.
5. Ensure the driver can be recessed inside the selected electrical box.

Mounting to a Switch Box

1. Connect the driver input wires to the switch box wiring using the supplied wire connectors.
2. Connect the fixture ground wire directly to the back plate with the supplied green screw.
3. Carefully place the connected wiring and driver inside the switch box. The driver must be recessed within the box.
4. Attach the mounting plate to the switch box with the junction box screws. Position the side marked “GND” toward the outside.
5. Loosen both adjustable nuts by turning them counterclockwise.
6. Position the back plate as needed for the desired alignment.
7. Pull the electrical wire taut without straining the connections.
8. Secure the back plate by turning both adjustable nuts clockwise.

Mounting to a Junction Box

1. Connect the driver input wires to the junction box wiring with the supplied wire connectors.
2. Connect the fixture ground wire to the back plate using the green screw.
3. Place the driver and wiring inside the junction box. The driver must be recessed within the box.
4. Secure the mounting ring to the box with the junction box screws. Keep the two mounting holes, spaced 2-3/4 inches apart, horizontal.
5. Make sure the mounting plate’s “GND” marking faces outward.
6. Attach the mounting plate and conversion plate to the mounting ring with the assembly screws.
7. Loosen both adjustable nuts, align the back plate, pull the electrical wire taut, and tighten the nuts clockwise.

Wire Connections

• Fixture black or smooth wire: Connect to the house black hot wire.
• Fixture white or ribbed wire: Connect to the house white neutral wire.
• Fixture bare ground wire: Connect to the house green or bare copper ground and to the back plate with the green screw.

Adjusting the Color Temperature

1. Turn the fixture power off before changing the CCT setting.
2. Remove the detachable cover over the three-position CCT switch in the canopy.
3. Select 2700K, 3000K, or 3500K.
4. Reattach the switch cover after making the selection.
5. Restore power, then cycle the fixture off and on again so the new setting becomes active.

Troubleshooting

• The fixture does not turn on: Confirm that the circuit breaker is on, the wall switch is on, and the hot, neutral, and ground connections match the wiring instructions.
• The light output is inconsistent: Turn power off and inspect every wire connector. Ensure the driver is fully recessed inside the electrical box and that no connection is loose.
• The selected CCT does not appear: Turn the fixture off, adjust the CCT switch, replace the switch cover, and cycle power off and on again.
• The fixture is misaligned: Loosen both adjustable nuts, reposition the back plate, pull the wire taut, and retighten both nuts.
• The back plate will not sit correctly: Check that the mounting plate is facing outward with the “GND” marking visible and that the mounting ring holes are horizontal when using a junction box.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Integrated LED construction, three selectable color temperatures, adjustable back plate, switch-box and junction-box mounting options, broad 120–277 VAC compatibility, and compact linear styling.
• Cons: Installation requires permanent wiring, the driver must fit inside the electrical box, and changing the CCT setting requires switching power off and cycling it back on.
