When I install these, should I put them upside down so that the led's are facing the reflective backing on the fixture, or so the leds face the room?

Install facing the the room You may need to remove the reflector in some puck lights to get a fit. If not bright enough, and under cabinets, consider adding LED adhesive strip lights.

In my case, I had them facing the room (even though my light receptacles have reflector). It is brighter that way

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

i would wire the lights separate from the reverse lights,with their own dedicated switch to prevent any mishaps to your stock reverse lights.these are plenty bright for back up lights.

We have ours mounted on a slanted ceiling but it requires an extension rod. I cant say about the leds though.

I mounted all of mine horizontally but they look great either way. Saw them mounted both ways in Sun Lighting's showroom.

I am using them in a vertical/sideways position for two fans with no problem. . Bright lights. Good luck

You should be able to angle the lights. The air bubbles may not work properly, however, if you do not have the bubble strip the right way.

Yes it can be mounted upside down. I had an electrician install my light he asked which orientation I wanted it to be mounted. It had't occurred to me that it could be facing down.

My bulbs are installed in a horizontal orientation under a metal dome that is only 4 inches deep. At the highest output setting I can still handle the lit bulbs. The base is the warmest area of the bulb, so 'base-up' is probably the best orientation.

I have never mounted this light upside down and wouldn't recommend it. The mounting has a keyhole feature and seats very well rightside up - probably not so good the other way.

They are keyed so if it is opposite there is nothing you can do. Not unless you can rotate the keyed entry on the headlamp which I doubt. Alternatively, just keep them in high beam =D.

They are great for reverse mounting. they are designed to project light out and will do a great job. actually LED'S may prefer to be upside down to allow the heat to rise from the base.

We hung them outside of the light (we have parabolic, three light fixtures). It looked a little too "drape-y" so we went with plastic light sleeves that cover the bulb themselves.

I have them mounted upside down Works fine. You have to be careful putting on the glass globes with the tool they provide. Globes are kind of delicate but with a little patience it works ok and looks fine

The lights mount on a bracket that is adjustable. Not a problem at all. However make sure you have the clearance to move the lights where you are going to mount them. Very easy and they work great but get the brightest one you can and good luck. FYI wiring them is a snap!!

As the other response states, yes you can, but the mounting is a little less secure in my opinion. There is one screw and a bent section on the back plate that the fixture mounts to. When mounted upside down, the screw is on the bottom and you are relying on the bent section to "catch " the top of the fixture. I originally installed mine "upside down", but switched to provide enough room for the mirrors below them as the sconces are fairly close to the wall. As the other response states, have patience with the glass installation as the tool and locking nut can be a pain, especially upside down when gravity is working against you.
