How omni-directional is the light? I am looking for one for a covered outdoor lampost.

Only the bottom plastic piece (closest to the threaded base) does not emit light.

Did not buy this type, but the manufacturer should state on packaging if bulb is for exterior use.

It's pretty similar to a regular old light bulb, probably covers about 270 degree arc, with some fall-off outside of that range. I would think it would work fine for your use, although don't know how your lampost looks.

Depends on what you want to do with it. Works well in small enclosed areas like my service van. I have 2, one for each side. I can move both of them to 1 side if desired for additional lighting when needed or somewhere outside my van. I would advise getting the one with more led's (not 24) even tho it does cost more. They work well for my purposes.

I don't have the package any longer since I used all three bulbs, so I don't know the color rating index. Yes they are fairly omni-directional.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

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

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

Hi Mark,I'm not sure. I use the device during hunting where no any lights. I guess you shouldn't direct it to street lamps.Good luck

It is a small round light, not a large square flood light... we placed at the base of our trees to illuminate the bottom of the canopies, trunk and lower level looks nice (2 oaks, 1 redbud)... Also, placed 4 (two at one area and 2 at another) about 2 foot out from brick home behind our dwarf alberta spruce's (anchoring the corners of home) to up light the home - nice. sufficient.

The headlamp can twist about 15 in either direction from the mounting band. You'd have to measure the angle of the stem on your bike and, of course, you'd like it to be angled slightly downward to light up the road not straight ahead. My guess is mounting it the way you want may be a problem.

Most of my outside bulbs are at an angle of some kind; the Bayco needs to be pretty close to straight-on with the lightbulb. So if you can stand off far enough so that the fingers hit the bulb fairly straight, it's no problem. If you can't, if the pole has to be at a big angle, it's going to be harder, maybe impossible, depending on the angle and distance. I didn't have any trouble with my lights at various angles, even 15' above ground, but it'll be different for every situation, probably.

Yes...it's a goofy light. Does what you said which is not by design. I had it outside for security but it didn't work as described. It's in my garage and for some reason works and then doesn't work. If I could grab the engineer by the throat and have him explain why this doesn't work...I'd be happy.

Yes, when light is angled down, light is pretty much centralized. The more it is angled up, the more area it will light.

There is a retractable reflector hood in the back that, when down, will shine light in 360 degrees, when up light will shine in about 180 degrees. It's just a very small (packable) lantern.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances. One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

I believe it up to 5 feet in any direction, you will need to put it high enough so that it gets at least 6 or more hours of sunlight...one nice thing about this product is that it has 2types of lighting, a real dim light stays on constantly and a much brighter light when you come within the perimeter , it's also super easy to mount...

I have used this bulb in such a fixture for about six months with no problems. The bulb is effectively omnidirectional in that application. Light is emitted from a full half sphere at the top of the bulb (the end away from the base). I also use one of these in a desk lamp with a white shade. Even though the bottom half of the bulb is metal, the result is about the same as a ordinary light bulb.

I would not recommend it outside. However, I am disappointed in the light itself. It's not a "wow" light. It's small and not made as nicely as I would have expected. It's just an okay light! I hope that helps!
