Is it recommended to place it upside down? (basement ceiling light, outdoor lantern, etc). I saw in the SmartThings forum that the doc did not advise that but that was referring to HA05 not HA05C, so maybe it's different. Thank you.

I've been using it in a porch light application upside down and it's been working fine for 4 months. Time will tell if the heat will cause it to fail. But so far so good.

..... I changed ours over to hang from the ceiling - using the chain and cord from the old lamp - as this is delivered to you, it is meant to be "fixed" to the ceiling - not hung and hard-wired into electrical.

I agree - possible, but looks strange. Just get a halOgen lamp if you want it to point up.

It is barrery operated so it doesnt have to go where a light is however i think it looks best in the middle of the room so i installed my sons over the existing light box in the center of the room. If we had no light there i would have installed it in the the midddle of the room with no box. If you have a light in the middle you want to keep you could put it on anouther location on the ceiling since it it battery powered. Hope this was helpfull, we like the light.

I mounted both the two lite and three lite upside as pictured. I thought the description said they can be mounted downward. The glass shade is secured with an inner ring, hence no reason to contradict the description.Chance is good that you will be forced to mount upside due to possible interference with a vanity mirror below it and if using the existing fixture mounting hole. I too originally wanted to mount downward for better look.

In side a garage should be fine most likely, i installed mine in the spring so mine has only gone through maybe mid 20's so far, didn't have it yet when it was -25.In reference above my bulb is outside as a street lamp above the garage, so the mid or high 20's its felt so far was full force

I mounted mine to a standard light mounting box made out of plastic. They sell them at home depot/lowes and such. An example on amazon is this: Westinghouse Lighting 0105000 Saf-T-Box, 1-1/2 Inch DeepIt depends on how/where you need to mount it and if you have access to above it in the ceiling or not. I would ask at a local home-improvement store and they will get you the exact box for your needs.

If you put it on a switch then you are controlling the normal operation. So, if you want it off while at night then flip the switch. However, if you switch it on during the daylight you will have no light on.

My guess would be that it would be ok to lay on it's side. My spot light is always on it's side and works just fine. Same battery.

Pull the chain. BTW: this is tiny because we have a slanted, low ceiling. We added the light to it. We LOVE it. We use it on nights that are too cool for the air conditioner.

I gave this as a gift to someone else. I have an earlier version of this light and I use it on the side of my house in a narrow walkway. Like the other responder, it is important to angle it properly. Mine comes on when I'm within 6 feet of it. I recommend that you study the range you want it to come on and adjust it to that angle. You may have to adjust it by testing at night. It is fairly easy to adjust the angle. Good luck!

I put mine in a dropped ceiling. I just popped mine in under the ones that were there My lights fit just like the ceiling tiles though

Howdy, It's been a long time since I used. However, it appears from the user manual that only the top is controlled, the bottom is not. see the manual: http://www.authinx.com/manuals/X10/SR227.pdf and the website: http://www.thehomeautomationstore.com/sr227.html?gclid=CJvvgs3gnsQCFZBafgodZ2gA3w At least that's how I read it. (I have even forgotten which socket I used -- probably my night light, and once connected, way back when, I seemed to have forgotten about it. I do use a controller for that light, though--- and this gives you an idea of reliability -- jnstall, set up, have the remotee controller, and just forget for years!) Hope this helps.

I would not mount it inverted, with the supplied equipment. Not sure why you would mount it inverted as you could always get a longer plug.

The section that has the light in it can continue flipping around all of the way until it bottoms out against the other sections. For example the picture show in the ad shows the light pointing to the right as its in an almost vertical shining position. The top section could keep flipping all of the way around so as to form a triangle and be pointing off to the left in an upward direction. Hope this helps. Also, there are no mounting slots or holes to hang it on anything. I imagine you could make this thing point about anywhere you'd like with some creativity. The only negative I have is that I wish that the plug would have been placed at the other end of the base....not that big of a deal but it would have worked better for me and how I use it.

I really do not remember. Since both the sensor(above) and the light(below) require power, that would suggest that the wires are more or less in the middle. Heath Zenith's customer service is pretty good so you might want to call them.

Leave the switch in the middle position. You get a medium lighting (experiment) as compared with the higher lumen position when switch is positioned further to the right. Leave switch in either position and forget. Depending on your lighting conditions in area you have the unit, the light will come on/off automatically due to the light sensor. The far right position acts as a home power failure emergency light also. The battery lifetime in the unit is limited. Read your instructions for additional help. Hope this helps!
