Will the waves be visible in a hallway with natural light coming in from classroom windows and halogen ceiling lights at the entrance of the hallway?

It should be visible but not incredibly vivid. The closer you have it to where you want the waves the clearer they will be , but the area will also be much smaller. The color of the floor also makes a difference. Our floor tile is dark with a pattern and definitely takes away from the effect. We try to have the room as dark as possible when using the light. It can be projected to fit our entire driveway (Halloween) when it gets dark and looks amazing despite the street lights. You would just have to pick an area to hang it that works best for your situation. I hope that helps. Kids really love this light and so do adults. I have had so many people asking where they could get one. It should be visible but not incredibly vivid.

Yes, to an extent. If you're in a very brightly lit room people will be able to see in a little but not as clearly as if it wasn't their at all.

It will not be as bright as flood lights or most kitchen lighting. But it does a good job of lighting say a living room, I'm just afraid you may need more in a kitchen.

Yes it will but depending on your expectations. The lumens are enough we are currently using ours for school, it meets the need for the bucks. But if you are in advertising or high definitions is needed for your presentations, probably it will be better to invest in a more expensive model. If your presentations are more in-house I will say it ok, meets the needs and can be seen either in a darker room or with daylight with out any issue.

My two cents--I don't think it is like a spot beam. It seems to have a pretty good spread. Brightness is going to have a lot to do with the room, color of the walls, size. The light is pretty much the same as coming through a frosted glass. We got it for the fan and have additional lighting in the room.

No, it won't illuminate the room itself, but it would probably make anything that is backlight reactive glow a bit--and the closer those things are to the light fixture, the brighter and more intense they will be. It will provide some room light, but not enough to keep guests from tripping over one another.

You will be fine. The sensors are above the light fixture will not affect one another, it shines down and outward

Yes, definitely, there is lighting. I would be surprised if any of the over the range (OVR) microwaves would not have "under-counter" lighting.

I don,t think so. It would depend on the amount of light you prefer. I used the light in a hallway and it is fine. The glass is white and not clear so it mutes the light.

They are for me and the light is not very good over my locker at work. If you have good light I don't think you will have any problem. I think you will like it. I would not use anything else.

not yes/no answer, maybe this will help. We have ~ 12' * 15' room and we turn all 3 lights on (~60W equivalent CFLs each) for best light. It is fairly good. With only 2 turned on, it is ok for socializing but not for good reading.

I have both blue and green shades in my room. When you are standing directly under one, you can tell. However, the combination has not been bothersome at all. I swear to you the filtering of the Florescent has made my students so much calmer. I can't tell you how often someone walks in my room and says "It feels so calm in here. "

Yes they will. We have the in our building. But the lights burn out faster.

We used as a hallway light. and used 1 CFL for good lighting. I would guess that using both sockets with CFL's would easily light an 8 x 10 room.

The light is bright but yes open at the top. We have had no problem with bugs getting inside. We are very happy with this ceiling fan/ light. Exactly what we were looking for.

Yes, but I suggest using a diffuser. I believe that will give you the waves that you want.

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.
