I am wanting to use these for a special modification of LED lighting but the space available is extremely thin. Are these basically paper thin?

Yes. These are quite thin, they are like film. Originally, I bought them to place over writing in the hopes that it would stand out better.

Paper thin is a good description. One on line answer says that they are 3 thousandths of an inch thick. Lifeway (9/25) said they thought these were good for theater lighting heat levels, but I didn't see that in the current description. I don't doubt that they would melt or at least discolor in high heat, but I do use them on 5 Watt LED candelabra bulbs (40 watt equiv) in an outdoor application and the heat of full sun doesn't affect them and they haven't faded or warped.

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.

I would say they are slightly heavier than paper thin - closer to card stock weight. I cut circles out of the green to put in my landscape lighting and they withstood snow, rain, below freezing temps so they were fairly durable. They do not tear easily - they must be cut with scissors or ever sharp blade. Hope this helps!

I wouldn't say exactly "paper thin," but yes, thin. They are more elegant looking than the thick, heavier glasses you get at Macy's. So it just depends on what you want them for. I don't let my grandkids use them. I bought them for bridge club adults!

They are pretty bright. But they are more limited to shine where you put them. Not the best choice for whole room lighting. I have a central along with these light.

They couldn't be to thin. They have pretty good size magnets. I would wait until I got them before I bought or built a box for them.

I would consider smaller ones specially for that use. There may not be enough light for one thing and they are bulky and heavy for indoor use

They're sized for "standard" (E27) lights. I had intended to use this with 4x 100W equivalent CFL bulbs, and found it to actually be too bright for my space and went down to 4x 60W equivalent bulbs.

I would not say they are bright enough for a primary light for a sink more of a accent light. I can email a picture of how I used them if you like.

Yea pretty much. They are only 55 watt so they're not as bright as you would think and the beem pattern is weird its sorta flat and spread out. The bulbs are h3 so I upgraded to 100 watt bulbs and use them for reverse lights. Also they are plastic and sorta cheap but are fine for what im doin

ten (10 inches... you might get away with something less....but it no matter the size of your kitchen or wherever you want to hang these, anything less looks skimpy, I would think...unless you have a really really small place you are considering for this light.

I agree with the other 2 answers. This fixture also has very little rim space so you don't have allot of wiggle room. LED technology is so nice because you don't have to worry about heat buildup like you do with other light sources.

Yes, they fit in mine, though they are longer so clearance could be an issue in smaller fixtures. That said, I got them into my little half sphere step lights. The color is hard to judge because they're so dim. My lights had 4 watt incandescent lamps, and these may be half as bright, so much too dim for my use as a fence accent.

The lights are about 1" in thickness and are well hidden by standard (kraftmaid cabinets for example) front overhang, if that is your concern. If you are asking if the lighting itself is suitable for your application, I can only say that the quality of light is bright and white. A dimmer kit is included in each light in the event that you are wiring them to a wall switch for use with a dimmer. In that case, the light(s) can be dimmed down to a soft glow. Hope this answers your question.

Mine are Approx 20 feet, 13 watt compact florescent. Use regular incandescent bulbs if you want to use them on a dimmer. Spacing should not be an issue like with low voltage DC lites, these are 110 AC

yes, they are quite adequate. There are two settings. The lower is good for general lighting, the higher is fine for reading. They are good lights. I have two in my cabin and one in my shed. Lasts long and nice to have solar lighting. Easy to install.

thickness maybe 1/8" hold in warm area, yes but not forevermay be I can put strip led in the fish house with itauto windshield glue will hold forever

These are about 1-1 1/2 inches thick, if I understand what your asking. Its about 4 inches across give or take. Just keep in mind it is more like accent lighting-- not full lighting. good luck

These lights won't light a room. They are only sufficient for a very small light box which is what I purchased them for. Also the bulbs are veryfragile and one blew out when I received the set. the socket is special so you can't use almost any other bulb. The stands are okay so I now use them as bed reading lights. I hope this helps.
