Can the light fixture be mounted with the lights pointing down?
271918
Yes, the inner parts are secured in by screwing down a piece, so they will not fall off if pointing down.
271919
Yes! We have them hung with the lights pointing down, and have had no problems with them.
271920
Yes. The Gatco Latitude 2 Triple Sconce includes screw-on-screw-off type of rings per bulb socket to hold the glass shade in place for this very purpose.
271921
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, I have the model with lights and we mounted the unit with the lights facing down - no problem at all.

I wouldn't recommend hanging it upside down. The glass does not sit securely in the base of the light fixture so there is some play in the glass. There is a nut that hold the glass in place but it just doesn't seem that secure to me. Good luck and happy hunting.

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.

We had our electrician install this light fixture in a landscape bed. As long as the electrical source is there, I believe it can be mounted either way. We adjust the head to light palm trees.

The shade is attached so that you can mount with shade either pointing up or down. We have ours mounted pointing down. No problem.

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

Yes, I mounted it with lights downward. This way it better fits my interior and keeps the glass clean longer.

You could, but with 1 bulb pointing up the light only comes out from the top. It would look strange horizontal

Not easily. Any fixture is linkable with the correct wiring. This is not ideal for that purpose

You mean without screwing it down? Yes, I believe it will sit on it's base. I'll say that you may not be able to swivel the light too far off center without tipping it over. However, if you need the light to be portable, and you want it to sit upright, you could cut out a piece of wood and attach the light to that.

YES YES YES they can and very easily. The stem does only pivot in one direction, but the yoke holding the stem to the ceiling mount rotates freely so aligning it so the light hangs straight down is no problem.

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."

There are 2 mounting holes, one at each end of the fixture. You could put eye bolts in the holes and hang the fixture from them, but it may not be level, depending how the electrical power is connected.
1775979
Yes! We installed ours so the light is facing down and it looks/works great.

I own these lamps and have them mounted as pictures which gives it a nice contemporary look. You could mount them upside down as well. Everything is screwed in.

Yes, the light fixture swivels up and down so you can change the angle for different tasks.

I do not believe this can be mounted as a ceiling fixture. It is impractical and it would hung sideways.
