Can this fixture be mounted with the bulbs facing down instead of up?

Yes. We have two sets in our master bathroom over two mirrors, and the bulbs are facing down. They look great.

It can be mounted both ways. I mounted it facing up because for me it looks better but it also works facing down depends on style preference. Hope it helps.

This fixture is not designed to be mounted to a ceiling. The bulb holders do not rotate.

They have changed this bulb and the sensor no longer rotates. So, it is possible if you screw it in, it may face the back of the fixture. Not good.

Yes, it can be installed vertically up or down as well as horizontally. I installed mine pointing down just as you want to.

I suppose you could just install them upside down. Doesn't seem like a good solution to what you're trying to accomplish though. They make fixtures designed to light stairways safely and properly.

Yes. I have two mounted in the same exact type of fixtures and they work excellent. In fact, in my opinion, they work better upside down than in a conventional lamp due to the design of the bulb. The lower part has no light output so there are "dark" areas that you can clearly see through a lamp shade.

The light distribution of this Philips LED 'bulb' is close to that of a traditional incandescent A19 bulb. That means you can use it either face up or face down and it makes very little difference.

Yes, I have it mounted as a down light. In my opinion it looks better that way

No, this fixture can not be flush mounted. As you might be able to see in the picture, there is decorative trim with beads above the shade. But you could hang it close to the ceiling. This is a beautiful fixture. We are very happy with it.

I can't see any reason why not. The fixture fits flush on the mounting surface whether it be horizontal or vertical. It is designed for "hard wiring" so that is something to take into consideration. I have mine installed underneath my kitchen cabinet. Installation is pretty easy for any DIY with a little electrical experience.

I don't know. Nuvo is quickly responsive if you contact them, as they were for me about another question I had. But, would you want to glance up and see the ugly bulb if it was hung downwards?

Yes, because the ring that screws into the fixture clamps down the glass lamps and the mounting plate can be positioned for either up or down.

Yes! We installed ours so the light is facing down and it looks/works great.

I originally was going to install it with the lights down but the electrician said that it will look better with the lights facing up. Even with the lights up, because you can use incadescent bulbs, there is plenty of light. Hope this helps.

I returned the item because its finish didn't match my other bathroom fixture finish. But all ball joint mount design should allow you to move up/down and sideways. Remember the ball joint is a pivot point, all movement is limited especially sideways more than up/down. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can be done at the top of the fixture. That's the way I would do it, should the situation arise.

Yes - the bulbs can be upside down in the lamp without a problem. The lamps we have them in our sideways.
