Load control device having an illuminated rotary knob

A wall-mountable load control device configured to control an intensity of a lighting load, the load control device comprising:

• a yoke adapted to be mounted to an electrical wall box;
• an enclosure attached to the yoke;
• a faceplate attached to the yoke and having an opening;
• a mounting member attached to the yoke and having an attachment portion extending through the opening of the faceplate;
• a potentiometer located within the enclosure and having a shaft extending through an opening in the yoke and the opening of the faceplate;
• a rotary knob having a planar surface and a circular sidewall extending from a periphery of the planar surface to form a cavity in the rotary knob, the rotary knob comprising a shaft-attachment member located within the cavity and attached to the shaft of the potentiometer;
• a collar attached to the attachment portion of the mounting member and surrounding the shaft of the potentiometer;
• and
• at least one light source configured to illuminate at least a portion of the collar,
• wherein the collar is received in the cavity of the rotary knob when the rotary knob is attached to the shaft of the potentiometer, and
• wherein light emitted by the at least one light source is directed through a gap between the rotary knob and a front surface of the faceplate.
