Would this product be good for a sky light, and should it be applied inside the list or outside?

If the skylight is flat and not rounded it will work. You should apply it on the inside. I used it on the inside of an antique doll cabinet to protect the dolls. Looks great!

This should be fine applied to a skylight, though you may have issues applying the film if the glass isn't flat. It is applied on the interior side of the glass.

I don't know about inside or outside (manufacturer-seller would know) but I would think it would be fine for a skylight. Properly applied it is invisible on the window.

The clear film UV protection I bought must be applied inside as it wouldn't adhere in weather over time. ( As to the first question, to be honest I haven't been able to find anyone to install it yet--- we have a three story high indoor skylight and I'm still hoping the film will do the job to keep art from fading. )

I think it depents on what you're going to use it for. To use it to light up area, I don't think its usefull. However, to use it as a marker or decoration it is very effective for your property.

I don't think it is safe to use outdoors unless you live in a very dry climate and it will be protected from the weather (mostly rain or wet stuff). It is designed as an INDOOR ceiling light with fan. When I assembled the unit, I noted that it is not air (or moisture) tight, and definitely not a sealed unit in any sense of the word. I would not recommend using it outdoors except under very protected conditions (like maybe on a porch where there is no chance of moisture getting on it). Also if you have any winds, I wouldn't even consider it. I hope this helps!

Should be ok. As suggested, you may want some floating plants (like duckweed) to filter the light if it's too much.

as I am an electrician I do not suggest any product to be used outdoors unless "waterproof" is specified, and the company will advertise that as it is a selling point. although any illuminator can be used outdoors if concealed in a weather proof enclosure.

Nancy, We used this on a skylight to reduce possible damage to paintings hanging below. As far as I can tell, it doesn't cut down any light (or glare) as it is clear. Ted

I don't know about outside use. It did not come in a box with warnings or instructions. I would hesitate to use it outdoors for that reason. It looks like an indoor product and I used it in a floor lamp. Sorry I can't be more help.

it depends on what you mean by good. Is it durable enough? yes. would I use it outside? if I had an extra one sure. it depends how bright you want you light post. if you actually want to see rather than for aesthetics then, yes use it

Don't think it's because your using outdoors, it's labeled for indoor or out door use. I use two of them in my outdoor security lights, and have not had any problems. My lights are protected by the roof overhang, but even if they weren't the fixture is sealed well enough to keep the weather out. it sound like others have mentioned, a loose bulb, or a loose electrical wire connection

It can be used for exterior applications in the daylight but at short distances. In a darkened room or at night it is visible for a much longer distance

I dont see why it wouldnt work outside BUT not what it is made for. Light is extremely bright so might effect neighbors and I would worry about it being damaged or stolen. Great light tho!

The optishot cannot be used outside. I think they require a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet. Lighting is also a factor, a dimly lit room works better. A great system though. We use it all of the time, and really enjoy it

It is intended for spot rteatments inside generally. I am not sure about exterior applications. Our house was treated by Truly Nolan and this was suggested as a followup to any small eruptions.

I wouldn't suggest it be used for outside lighting. The glass is real fragile and the outside elements may be to harsh. You may be able to use for a sunroom or screened in porch.

More of a Flood light. We used it inside of one of those hanging lamps made of vinyl. It made for the perfect effect. I'm not sure it would be bright enough for outdoor lighting.

This model is designed to used on a outside, covered area such as a porch. I doubt that a light kit would be a good idea since the fan is "damp rated". Lamp kits are not intended for outdoor use.

I think the 1st two responses are correct. Hardware-House lighting is well constructed but, this line is not intended for outdoor use. I would error on the side of safety and install outdoor rated lights and fans. Please feel free to call me if you have other questions or concerns. We'll be glad to help.ChristopherComplete Home Hardware615-794-3880
