Can this sconce be mounted so the light shines down instead of up? We are looking for a sconce we can mount above our basement stairs. Thanks!

No. See the bottom decorative fitting? It's holding the glass shade in place.

I asked my husband, who installed ours, he said they will not mount upside down. The fixture is held in by little screws and gravity. He feels the would fall off

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.

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 you can hang it downward instead of upward. the only thing you might want to downsize to 3 laps because it will be a lot of light shining down.

Use a shim to tilt the light enough that the light is directed to your needs. A little "out of the box" mounting could be fitted to not only serve your needs but could be made to look like it should be mounted that way.

I would suggest pipe hangers at Lowe's or somewhere like that. They will go around the pipe and have a flat surface with a hole to mount the light to.

Can you mount this on the porch ceiling. I want it to face downwards and can I mount it with a screw as adhesive and Velcro would not hold up after months in 100 degree heat in AZ. I am willing to drill mounting holes in the unit if there is space but is it possible. Thanks

Need to be creative to be able to do that. You may clamp the light onto fixtures on the wall. A direct wall mounting light would be a better option.

I suppose it could be with limitations,. The light can be adjusted up and down. I believe they are made for wall mounting though, which how I mounted mine, under a soffit. Good product,

I'm not sure what you mean by, "over a door." The light attaches like any other flush mounting light fixture--meaning the base mounts flush with a surface such as a ceiling. The light diffuser would then be above the surface. I don't see why you couldn't mount it in a vertical position. I have purchased two of these light for my basement. I will most likely purchase another one soon. I hope that answers your question. If not, ask again.

Hello David,Thank you for your interest in our products. This wall sconce is a hard-wired fixture which requires an electrical box on the wall for mounting.Thank you.

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod. My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low. The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.

Yes, I have it flush mounted without light. Total height is approx 9" from ceiling with flush mount. Light kit is available. It uses two 50-Watt mini-Candelabra halogen bulbs.. We love this extremely quiet fan and it comes with wall plate and switches (4 speeds). High speed will cool a fairly large room. You will not be disappointed. We purchased white to match the ceiling.

Yes, to both questions. It's a big bulb, though, and it might be too big for a ceiling fan. Also, it's not a "pretty" bulb, so if the light fixture is downward-facing, it might not look good. Regarding mixing bulbs, that's no problem at all. I do that all the time in my fixtures.

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.

This is flat wall sconce. I put it on our stair wall ... it is very attractive and modern.

No, fixture is not designed for direct mounting. No easy access to inside of fixture. Instructions state to mount "minimum of three inches from ceiling."

Yes you could. However it would not be level. The mark on the ceiling would line up with the lazer, where the light comes out. It would be like using a lazer pointer you get to play with cats. Where you point it is where the light will shine.
