This listing says to "operate base down only". Anyone use them inverted in a frosted ceiling fan fixture? Thanks

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

I used this in a frosted fixture base up, but not a ceiling fan. The fixture caused other bulbs to overheat and burn out, but this bulb did great and didn't burn out. I'm not sure if the vibration of the fan would have an effect, but given my success with it elsewhere, I'd suggest giving it a try.

I have them base down in outside porch lights so I haven't tried them upside down.

No I wouldn't recommend that at all unless you can figure out a mounting method. The stand is really my only complaint - it's really cheap. I also bought a set of bulbs that do the same thing and put them in my ceiling fan. That worked awesome! Might be a solution to your needs. Light is good, stand sucks! :)

I have one in a motion controlled socket and it works fine there. No reason it shouldn't work in any on-off type controlled fixture.

They are flexible and need to be held in the proper location with ceiling anchors. They come out of the box straight so they might work for you depending on the application. The product is meant to be shaped.

How did you use it on the bulbs on your basement staircase that are angled? I tried and failed to get it to work on sockets that are angled below my roofline. It seems to only work on straight-on fixtures. Hint to manufacturer or clever entrepreneur: make an articulated head/claw.

not too sure what in inverted ceiling is, but we used for our entire flat ceiling without any issue. It works like a regular banjo (except it is plastic)

Hello. The reverse option on this ceiling fan is as simple as turning a switch on the motor. If you should have any further questions please feel free to reach us. Thank you.

I wouldn't recommend hanging it upside down. The glass does not sit securely in the base of the light fixture so there is some play in the glass. There is a nut that hold the glass in place but it just doesn't seem that secure to me. Good luck and happy hunting.

This could be due to the ceiling fan having a remote control. For some reason most of the fan remote units I've worked with rapidly pulse the power to the lighting side of the circuit. This doesn't have any noticable effect with incandescent bulbs, but plays hob with CFLs with internal ballasts and LEDs with internal power supplies that rely on a constant AC power source.

Do they have a plus and minus wire? Yes they do and normally are connected as such to the small connector. Being a designer, I don't know "all" the circumstances around what you are doing. If you are asking if you just reverse the hookup of the wires, will the motor run in reverse? I would say the answer to the question is no. Easiest way to accomplish that would be to turn the fan over, 180 degress.

Since the fixture attaches directly to the fan, you would have to drop the whole fan using some kind of extension.

Down lights are created to be used usually in recessed ceiling cans so the light is more focused downwards. The original bulbs are better when used in lamps and places where you want to disperse light out to the sides and top.I'd also advise you to look into Philips hue which offers both options also but they have been much more responsive to software updates such as sunset/sunrise timers and 3rd party integrations. Although lifx bulbs are a bit brighter.

Yes, that's how I have mine. The fixture has the positive & negative wire coming out of the base. You just have to run two wires from the electrical wires in the ceiling down through the ceiling fan to your fixture. I have a Minka Aire ceiling fan & to run the wires through is very easy. I used solid wire & just pushed it through to the other end. If that doesn't make sense just let me know.

Yes. I currently have mine installed upside down in an outside porch light fixture.

I mounted 2 fans on my sloped ceilings with these. Works just fine. The bottom of the electrical box is flush with the slope. and has no problem whatsoever.While you are at it you have to take into account how far from the ceiling your fan blades will be on lowest side. So it takes a little planning as to what size fan you want and how long your drop down pole will be. Most fan mounts allow for angled ceilings so that's no problem.

I mounted both the two lite and three lite upside as pictured. I thought the description said they can be mounted downward. The glass shade is secured with an inner ring, hence no reason to contradict the description.Chance is good that you will be forced to mount upside due to possible interference with a vanity mirror below it and if using the existing fixture mounting hole. I too originally wanted to mount downward for better look.

Hello! The fan can take up to a 29 degree slope. After that, you'll need to actually get an adapter, the A245-BN, which goes into the ceiling in combination with a regular downrod. If there is anything else we can help with, let us know! Lighting and Locks - 1-800-334-5804
