Does it need to be pointing up, or can it be upside down? Considering this for open church fixture.

Both ways work, but I would be wary of the noise created when the fan starts to go out.

We have 20 of them in downward facing fixtures in our warehouse and they have been working perfectly since we put them in approx a year ago.

I returned the item because its finish didn't match my other bathroom fixture finish. But all ball joint mount design should allow you to move up/down and sideways. Remember the ball joint is a pivot point, all movement is limited especially sideways more than up/down. Hope this helps.

I have not tried it for that purpose but the light bulb only points directly in one direction..up or down depending on which way the socket is pointing. It is more for ambience that anything.

Yes, I plugged it upside down and right side up. Both worked fine. However, I did not try to turn the plug base. I've preferred to plug it right side up because the top of the light is pointed upward toward the ceiling to give more light. I hope this help.

There are feet on the bottom. Its designed to be used one way. Never bothered flipping it over. Wouldn't see why it wouldn't technically function upside down though. Not sure why you'd need it to=)

I think that should work. I bought one and installed it with the junction box on the bottom right but there was nothing in the installation process that would make me think it couldn't be done upside down.

Hey Kelly! It IS reversable. Up or down, the fixtures are secured very well. This is a first class light. I jumped on the $250 price in an instant when it dropped out of nowhere. I've never seen it less than that. Had it on my wish list for 10 months. The first thing I noticed about the light, was the weight! It was much heavier than I expected, and will need 2 people to install. And I'm 6 feet tall. It looks great and I would jump on it again.

Sure, in fact by default it's settings are assigned for table top or shelf positioning. If you want to invert it and mount to the ceiling then the mounting position settings would need to be adjusted.

I suppose you could just install them upside down. Doesn't seem like a good solution to what you're trying to accomplish though. They make fixtures designed to light stairways safely and properly.

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.

I had the same idea. I did get it to hang down a little further than this picture shows. But it is still just a slight bit tipped. The little piece at the top that angles downward and the lamp hangs from swivels too, so you can help adjust the angle that way.

Yes: You can flip it over. It moves on a 180 degree axis, but you can't angle it side to side. It's sort of like a knee joint. It looks like a big salad bowl angled at the ceiling. It's a pretty good lamp. It's a bit hulking, but it has some style. The only flaws are:- no side to side angling- the only on/off switch is a floor a button.

Not upside down as the sound comes out near the top. You could have the lower 3/4ths of it below the deck through a hole.

On a single axis the bulb and housing ring move. Not a lot of play but some, turn the whole fixture to change the direction.

I don't see any reason it couldn't be installed upside down. Clamp would then stick up above top of hutch tho.

I did not try to hang it sideways but the globes are very secure so I would assume it would be just fine. It is a very substantial and good looking fixture. My client was thrilled with them. I am sure it would matter what the size of the round hole was. that i cannot answer for you. the hole can always be patched and made smaller if you need to. Hope this helps.

the instruction manual is at church so I went on line. Page 53 says it can be mounted behind the screen. it will also hang from the ceiling inverted. It seems to me it does it all. See also page 15.
