Doesn't the shade block the angle (45degree to straight up) the lasers can project to? can the shade be taken off?

Yes, the shade could block the green laser light if you aimed it straight up. But, the laser still hits the entire ceiling of my son's room even with it aimed below the shade. The shade does come off but that exposes the LED night light that is also a part of this lamp and so you probably won't want to do that. We are very happy with the lamp.

Yes, if you're to shoot straight up it'll block it but you can simple remove the shade. It's an awesome product.

You can remove the red dot, but I'm not sure about putting it at a 45 degree mount. It's a micro red dot

The light source does rotate vertically, allowing you to adjust the forward range of the light. There is no lateral adjustment, though.

My shades are mounted at the outside of the patio ceiling away from the windows. I found bungees, etc. too much trouble. I took some curling ribbon cut two pieces long enough to go around each column next to the shade and ran each thru a tie down ring and around a column , tied it with a bow and now I can use one pull on the ribbon to untie it for raising and lowering the shade. I have to replace the ribbons every month or so. Curling ribbon costs about $2 for 150 yards.

It's difficult to shoot from directly above because of the light fixture, but you can get pretty close. I use museum wax to get the items at the right angle. I also loosely wrapped the light in tracing paper to minimize reflection.

There is a clear plastic piece on top that has to be removed to take it off but I would check with the manufacturer to make sure that you get the right shade size.

It is 45 degree angle, so no it will not diffuse the light more than 22.5 degrees either side,

If you go to their website you can live chat and ask. These are on a knuckle and may be angled down until your beam spread is not intrusive

It is designed to go vertically but you probably could. The shade slides into the bracket from the top and rests on a "base". If you turn it horizontal, you would see this base and there is potential for the shade to slide out. you'd have to secure the glass somehow.

NO !This laser device is very hard to use. Is still on my ceiling but, I don't use it anymore. You need too many back and forward movements to be in a specific position. From my opinion this item is useless.

No, only works with the light listed due to the offset of the light vs centerline. And that light is very nice, not 5 billion lums so as to blind the shooter.

Not really, the laser is too far down from the barrel. So wherever the light aims, the bullet will usually hit above it. Your better off putting your own laser or something.

While it is possible to angle the light down we do not recommend it for safety reasons. Some models of our lights cannot be angled down at all. As you know, halogen bulbs get very hot, angling the lights downward can magnify and concentrate the heat intensity - and so we do not recommend the light be used this way.

If the surface isn't level, no laser level will be capable of casting an accurate line. I would clean up one corner and let it be the starting point.

I used this item all sorts of way's with out any issure's ! This does not produce a diffuse light up close and in my opinon it shows a sharp beam.You can connect several led infr. lites! As far as angles are concerned you can position it at any angle.If this does not suit you there is other products to adjust your needs.I hope this was some what helpful. DAVE S

Well, you can! But it gonna look like its missing a part, and will not look good at all. But if you are thinking about removing it and putting another shade, yes you can!

I agree with the other comment. At the end of your extension you will pick up a little of the shade in the view, but you can always either back off the zoom or collapse the shade. This is problematic with pretty much all shades. There are times I have made use of this problem to take a shot with darkened corners caused by the shade to get a "burned corner" effect in the shot - especially interesting with fish-eye lenses.
