Should the softboxes be attached to the light horizontally or vertically. The Amazon photo shows it vertically however others recomended horizontally

I have mainly used the lights for single person interviews and vertical works good. I have messed around with horizontal and it's ok. I think you should keep it vertical.

You can do either way. The trick is to balance them so the weight is going stright down onto the stand. The Plastic mounts are not very strong and will easily break if all the weight is on them in an awkard angle. You will see what I mean once you have them.

It can be attached either way, it's up to your preference with regards to space and area that you are trying to light

The mounts are made for horizontal hanging, but you could buy picture wire and make it vertical.

The actual light has slots and the soft box has velcro to place the rods. Hope this helps

I mounted mine vertically so I could angle them the way I need in my backyard. If mounted horizontally there is no Sid to aside movement .

sorry, we can't tell you that, cause ours is just sitting on some boxes. we weren't able to mount it because it had to face sideways to work for our flourescent garage light.

you can hang these up side down, there will be no issues with hanging them up side down the light face has No pencil beam lines or anything its a clear piece of glass you could mount them sideways if you wanted to.

Yes, 10.6" vertical, 6" horizontal. If you need a small porch light, a great choice.

You have to put the soft box together first without the cover on the front of it. Then mount it on the light and tighten the screws. Then u are set.

No; I suspect the reason they suggest vertically is to insure consistent fluid flow through the chamber [it also makes it easier to change the bulb and possibly glass sleeve]. If you have to install horizontally or at a diagonal it should be fine -- just make sure you can service the thing (a year goes by quickly and you should change the bulb annually). Good Luck!

Only vertical, however, they are great mounts and are perfectly aligned if you want a forward facing light.

I can't give you the exact model numbers but your panels should run horizontally, not vertically. The main fastener is designed to clip in under the slots in the side walls. Once snapped into place they should be sturdy. I have an older shed that the panels run vertically, and there isn't anyway to attach accessories. at least without drilling into the sidewalls. Go Amazons web site and look at sheds that are newer with horizontal paneling.

Yes as a matter of fact, mine were shipped horizontal and I had to turn them vertical. Just take care while you're turning them so you don't break them off.

We were able to use the larger size Command Strips but I would only recommend this when the base will be sitting horizontally. I don't know if the strips will be albe to hold the light vertically (like attached to the wall).

I actually had to go to the manufacturer's website to find the directions. I set up one box horizontally and the other box vertically.

General soft defused light, downward angle. I use the lower socket, with the unit upside down. Works fine to light the hallway.floor

These can be mounted vertically (as I have a pair) or horizontally. May require removal of screws to position the mounting base properly. The screws that Danusia complains about will be oriented at the top and bottom edges (it sounds like she got a returned/repacked fixture - the glue would have been the sticker residue). You may consider the incandescent version (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VB5696) with halogen bulbs. I am using 40-watters that throw more light than standard 60-watt T10s. CFLs aren't really suited for the short on/off cycles in a bath.
