Default Which end is the setting end

I have a led security light with a pir sensor, and the knobs? which are

The 3 knobs are all the same shape, and when you look at them or just
one from the side view, it is tapered and has a small dimple in the
high end. All 3 knobs turn through 360 degrees, as it is a bit like
guesswork at the moment, but I'd prefer to take the guess work out of
it when setting the light up correctly.

Any ideas anyone?



Have a closer look. Mine have function and direction of rotation marked
in lightly embossed black markings on a black background next to the
black knobs! In poor light even with my reading glasses I can't see them.

Ok, next to each knob, there is a part circular tapered embossed marking
when looking at it from the underside front, or upside down, the
embossed circular taper looks to be on the front right side and tapers
or narrows, from the front to the right side.

Again each knob has a small dimple at one end, so is that the denoted
setting end. In other words if the knob has the dimple next to the part
circular embossed taper, is that the setting end. I suspect it is, but
am not sure.
