I have a floodlight that hangs upside down. Will I be able to put this light upside down and work properly

If it's a "Dusk to Dawn" light, hanging it upside down might be a problem since the sensor is on the "top". A motion detector type hung upside down may not give you the range of adjustment (for the motion detector sensor) you need.

I have used these bulbs in my kitchen upside down without any issues on a dimmer switch. Hope this helps.

The end of the light should just twist off, opposite the lighted end. I have two of these same exact lights and they are both that way. It isn't the easy to turn at first but it should come off with no problem.

That's a good question. I hung mine upside down with no problems. It is much harder to mount upside down from the ceiling that just setting it on a table or the floor and turning it on though. I would try it both ways and see what works best for the room you are using it in. Also, depending on the room size, you might try sideways from a wall too, although I don't think that would be the best bet. Hope that helps.

Yes...this fixture requires a standard screw in bulb, nothing fancy. We use flood lights, but a regular house light bulb will work just as well. We had this fixture for probably two years and have had no problems at all. Hope this helps...

Sure. Give yourself clearance. The cap into the ceiling will be at an angle but the light will hang straight with gravity. Its a good lamp - the longer we live with it, the more I like it.

Let me first say that if Amazon sends you a light that works will be a small miricile. The sent me 2 used worthless lights. Let's say they work just for kicks and grins. If you put it out in the weather water will get in and not good things happen with water and electricity. The controls are on the bottom and it's designed to have the water flow with gravity.Good luck.Larry H.

It should. It worked great when I first got it but now ... it doesn't work the first, second or third time I try to light it, let alone upside down!

As long as you have a flat surface to mount the light to, the light can be turned any way you want. So if you have a stake in the ground I would recommend putting a piece across the top to make a T and mount it to the top of the T. The light can swivel on the mounting bracket. And the light is sealed so no worries about that. Very bright too!

It didn't matter whick way I plugged the light in. it will still work. They must have put in diodes to allow reverse polarity. If it didn't work one way turn it around. I have had LED lights that would not work if they were backwards. These didn't have any problems.

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.

Not really, If your lamp holder lets you you can aim the light a little, but remember you can attach this to either side or front/back so, you are able to put the light where you want it.

It would need a wall mount with a swivel ball for the light to hang straight down. Personally, I am so pleased with these lights that I would go to a hardware or lighting store and try to find a swivel base if I needed to hang them on a sloped ceiling. Good Luck!

I would think it would go whichever way you angle it up and down or left and right. A really bright light.

My answer was short as I was on my phone. The Glass shade is held down with a large plastic nut that you see on most table lamps so its pretty sturdy. I dont see any reason why it cannot be installed upside down :)

Hey William, Without seeing the set-up your trying to retrofit, it's hard to give you good advice. That said, I think the larger issue is how you mount the bulb. If it's base up (inverted from it's usual position), you risk the base overheating - and running into trouble (i.e. a fire). It *might* work if you mount the bulb horizontally. If you do decide to mount it horizontally, make sure that the switch doesn't get/can't be tampered with (it can be sensitive to movement) or you'll wind up with a roasted reptile instead of a warm one.

I loved this light! Yes, I think it would be a good choice since you can adjust the direction of the light. I have to buy a new one since it fell over and the switch broke.
