Are you still able to use the hoop at a lower height? Or does the light always lower when you use at a lower height (and, therefore, the lights are in the way)?

Yes, the hoop can be used at lower heights without the lights being in the way. The lights only lower when you want them to (for replacing the lamps) - to do that, you have to attach a special cable to the backboard mechanism.

Yes, you can use the goal at any height as light is bolted to the support and only lowers when you change the light bulbs. To do that, you remove a bolt and attach a cable to lower it. Very simple.

The light is installed above the swing arm mechanism so it doesn't interfere. At least not with my Mammoth system. The light, once installed, is VERY high above the court. Changing a bulb will be a pain. I wish they would make an LED version so the lights last longer between changes. Anyway, hope this helps.

Please check the owner's manual installation guide page 5 Figure 7. If the bolt (part#22) is installed, the light will be at fixed height no matter when you adjust the hoop height. The string (part#24) is to hold the light from dropping down when the bolt (part#22) is removed. When bolt (part#22) is removed, the light can be lowered down if the loop is lowered down therefore you can maintain the light bulbs.

kidsmom, The Goalrilla Deluxe Hoop Light uses a 2 bolt system that holds the light up in a permanent position, even when you adjust the system. The bolt is only removed when someone wants to lower the light along with the system.Hope this helps! Goalrilla

My ceiling is not very high too, and my husband is 5'3" high and he do not touch it. Emilie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U931PtC1YNA

In my opinion, it would be too low. The bottom of the fan light would be at 73 inches. Good luck...!

Iʻve tried it, unfortunately I donʻt have a photo sorry. But I can say it "sort of" works. Depending on how tall the walls are, it doesnʻt throw as far up the wall as I hoped. It just doesnʻt have enough throw. I used it as an uplight against a white wall that was about 20ʻ high, and it got "lost" after about 10-12ʻ. It does however work fine as an uplight on my speaker scrims, so if youʻre a DJ, looking for an affordable solution to lighting your scrims...this is good. Also good for a light wash on a small area...maybe 10ʻ to 15ʻ feet. If youʻre looking to uplight high walls... youʻd be better of spending the extra $50 bucks and buy the American DJ Mega Par Profile RGB LED, or the Chauvet version. I believe theyʻre both $99 or less. Iʻve tried it, unfortunately I donʻt have a photo sorry. But I can say it "sort of" works.

My basic answer is how deeply do you sleep? The light is more of a soft "glow" than a "light" (and it's on the highest setting). I put the Wake-Up Light on the floor last night and only the side of the bedroom not blocked by furniture was lighter (makes sense).

Yes - I keep mine at about 60" - but it adjusts down to 55" - maybe a little lower -but I didn't force it to see how low. I do have the matching table lamp which is 28" from the base.

I understand why you're asking, but it is not touching anything for them to regulate. There is a wire harp clip that attaches to the round part of the bulb. I put mine up after busting the light shade in a very hard to reach area. Love it.

The light can hang down from the ceiling as low or as high as you would like. There are three extension pieces of different sizes: You can use one or you can use them all. I don't have the exact dimensions of the pieces but I used only a combination of two of them and it worked perfect for us. I hope I answered your question! Good luck.

Lowest position it can be in is about less than a foot of set at the shortest on the tripod with the light fixture completely facing the floor. I though for a moment you meant low as in emititon, to which I can say it only has two light levels, acceptable daylight surrogate, and off. Hope that answered your question!

The dimmer has a way of lowering the minimum brightness setting. If you read the instructions, it is under the "Setting Minimum Light Level (Programming mode)" in the "Operation" section. That said, when I tried doing it, it didn't bring the brightness level down below the default setting. So, maybe you can bring it up, but not down further than the default. We ended up putting lower lumen bulbs in one room where I wanted the minimum brightness to be lower.

Yes. That is about how tall my hubby is, and no issues. (unless you get in the very corners) We hang a light from the center, and I (who am 5'8") have to stand on a picnic table bench to reach.

Yes it makes it harder to light and keep lit and they will travel off quickly it will not go straight up. I suggest waiting until there is no wind. They are beautiful to watch.

I read a few pages in a book with the lights out laying in bed an used the lowest light setting on headlamp. It seems to work just fine for that. I did have to put it on the lowest tilt setting, but if you were setting up reading you might not have to have it at that setting.

Whenever I try to adjust the height, it doesn't stay in place. In fact, one time the shade came crashing on my head. Now I have it at the lowest height and I turned the shade up so that the bulb faces the ceiling. This way it puts out plenty of light. I also use a different light bulb than the one that came with it. The quality on this lamp is very poor. I don't recommend getting it unless you are handy (like my husband) and can fix things, like the faulty switch.

I think there is the possibility to make it shorter (pull up the cords inside the housing that attaches to the ceiling), however, you cannot make it longer. We have 12 foot ceiling and needed to extend conduit down about 2 feet to attach the light to in order to put it at a height that made sense.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

Jennifer, this was my response to someone else regarding the required height. He had a little more head room than you but it appears you have enough for the frame to fit. High arching shots might be a problem for you but honestly the kids don't tend to arch the ball much higher than the frame itself."As it sits assembled, mine stands at 80" (6'-8") at it's highest point. The rim is 18" (1'-6) below that highest point. On really high arching shots you might hit your ceiling but in my opinion you'd be fine as most shots would never go that high.
