We have an overhead recessed area in the ceiling of a hallway (not a can) where there is a regular lightbulb. Will it work there?

Yes it should work there. It is a little larger than a regular light bulb. Did not fit a lamp

The spinning plastic cone at the end of the bulb will produce light around a room as long as the light isn't blocked. So if you have a light bulb in the socket now, and the light fills the room, then these lights will fill the same area with disco lighting.

I believe that the lightahead is a little bigger that a regular bulb. Also depending on how recessed the area is you might lose some of the spread of the light but I think it would still work.

It should work just fine as long as you have a clear path and a bit of clearance on the side which it sounds like you should, I believe it will work fine.

It would work very well. I installed 2 of these in the ceiling of my garage and they provide excellent lighting.

Shouldn't matter. We put it in bathroom with mixed regular bulbs and CFL's. It works perfectly. Tried other more expensive brands that did not work.

I would think so. Better check with an electrician, though. Mine is installed in a sheetrock ceiling. Good luck, I like mine.

it will work if there is at least an inch or so between the side of the bulb and the can.

If the fixture has a regular bulb 'screw in' feature. It should work I have saved on my electric bills by retrofitting all to led cans

You can align recessed lighting on the ceiling within about a foot of the laser level, so it does project up, if that is what you are asking.

no it dose not require a can. you do not need a dimmer a regular single pole switch will work. you will be left with a open line voltage splice above the ceiling check local codes

Yes, this should work for an indoor fixture. I've used it in a kitchen ceiling can, over a counter, and it's practically indistinguishable from the R20 halogen it replaced, except that it doesn't dim quite as low. Make sure it's the color you want -- this one is warm white, 2700K.

It can, but I have trouble with it. My BR30's are recessed into cans that have the tips of the BR30 barely below the level of the ceiling, as I imagine is the same with your bulbs. My problem is that the gap between the bulb and the can/trim is so narrow that I have a really hard time fitting all the prongs into that area, and a MUCH harder time getting it back out. Doing this ends up mangling the prongs on the bulb grabber cup, and I have to bend them back into shape between each remove/install operation.

On the package it says: "Not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures". The keyword here is "totally". I won't get too worried about using it in my enclosed ceiling lights. As long as the fixture is not air-tight, it should be fine.

I don't have this exact light, but I have one that has a similar interface where the arm attaches to the ceiling plate and mine is hinged and would work on a vaulted ceiling.

No, the clearance from ceiling to top of the first bulb is slightly less than 1 inch, so while you may be able to recess the "can" slightly you won't be able to fully hide it.

Yes. This light would work in a regular standard light receptacle. Very brightly, I would add and energy efficient to over a standard light bulb.

No. It works like a regular indoor ceiling light and needs to be turn on and off with a string.

I put it on the ceiling in the hallway, and it works. It depends on how low your light holder on the wall, it won

Yes, provided you have space between floor and ceiling. You actually insert it through the hole where you intend the light fixture or fan to be.
