We have studied the inclusive photon spectra in Υ(2S) and Υ(3S) decays using a large statistics data sample obtained with the CLEO III detector. We present the most precise measurements of electric dipole (E1) photon transition rates and photon energies for Υ(2S)→γχbJ(1P) and Υ(3S)→γχbJ(2P) (J=0, 1, 2). We measure the rate for a rare E1 transition Υ(3S)→γχb0(1P) for the first time. We also set upper limits on the rates for the hindered magnetic dipole (M1) transitions to the ηb(1S) and ηb(2S) states.
