Can this be installed upside down so that light shines down?

Yes, it can be install upside down and that is the way I installed. Avoid the accumulation of insects in the cup.

Yes, the light can be installed either direction. We installed it facing downward looks very pretty.

Its a light like any other. I am not sure about its performance upside down but with proper ventilation it should be ok. I love this light. Have you emailed the manufacturer?

The bulb socket has a large plastic bolt that you hand tighten. I don't see why you couldn't mount as a down light.

I think it could... The light rotates within the bracket, then you tighten it into the position you want.

I don't see why not you couldn't mount them upside down. As long as you have the clearance necessary AND the flat mounting spaces needed for the light's bases, it shouldn't be a problem. The question is, will the lights have some type of protection (from road debris flying up) or enough clearance for stuff like speedbumps and those concrete parking space things. The bumper might clear them, but something sticking five or six inches in front of it, hanging down, might not.

No, it can't be reversed. The fancy alabaster light shades just sit on the top ring of the fixture, unsecured. I've had one slip out and break already. This fixture has a nice style, but I would say a poor design.

You could probably install the whole thing upside down if you wanted to have the monitor/TV hang lower off the wall bracket.

I'm not sure about mounting locations on specific vehicles but these can be mounted upside down

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.

Of course it can! You just have to use your imagination in figuring out how to create your own attachment. If you're handy with some tools, you could create a "rail" block from a small piece of hard wood [oak, maple, etc], and secure it thru the top of your helmet. In that configuration, the light would be mounted upside down

Yes. That is exactly how I installed mine with the glass shades pointing down. It is a beautiful fixture and I highly recommend it.

I've never used it upside down, however I think the dot on the front is the most important part. It needs to get sunlight in order to work properly. I messed with mine until it went off and on properly. Just unscrew it a little and play with it. It also must have enough room underneath to fit the bulb into safely.

Yes, but you should use a dome or clamp type lamp. The bulb should be mounted either vertically, facing down or horizontally.

we don't advise that as a good idea! there are many codes that won't pass that upside down! there are bottom fed panels that you can buy to help with what you need! unfortunately i don't have and here, sorry! and for wire question please see the data sheet on this and let me know if you have any other questions! thanks!!! regards, Danielle

Yes! I've used it to work on my engine several times. They have a knob (on each light) that you can tighten down to hold a "downward angle" lighting. However it will not shine directly straight down. but I have no problem with it. It works for me.

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

The ring that holds the arm to the pole secures with an allen wrench. I think this configuration would be possible as long as the pole is as well secured as it would be normally. There is nothing on the arm that prevents it from installing upside down.
