Could you use a spot light bulb or flood light bulb? To get the affect you want on the wall?

I have used regular sized light bulbs and they give off a nice up lighting effect.

It's pretty small, but you can find all kinds of bulbs that make cool effects, sure. I'm happy with the product.

It would have to be a pretty small one. A regular size spot light bulb will not fit in here. These are not that big.

You could use a regular bulb. The clear cover over the bulbs is plastic, so I would not use a bulb that will melt the plastic. The pole is aluminum and the base is plastic. Looks nice and works great. I use LED bulbs.

It can be used in any lamp fixture, does not have to be a flood light. It would look amazing in a wall sconce, especially for a party!

A regular light bulb can be used in such devices, but won't give off the effect of a spot light bulb. It may not last long either because of the elements of weather, being exposed so much, whereas a porch light is usually covering the bulb. Only thing to do is try it so see for yourself.

Yes, you can use CFLs. I put small flood bulb in mine to use as a task light. Works and looks great.

I used led lights but, I see no reason it wouldn't. It will touch the walls though

Hi Mike- Thanks for the question. It is a good question and we get asked it a lot. If you planned to use the flood light in an area where there could be people lingering around, I can't tell you that there isn't risk of someone taking it. Check out the F108-2R that we sell. It's the same price but can be mounted. It actually looks more commercial as well. We have installed it for commercial signs. We used 4" x 4" posts and drove it into the ground and mounted the light to that. There is 9' of wire going to the solar panel. We sell a bracket that would work, or you could come up with something on your own that many people do. If you have more specific questions about your application, you're welcome to message me directly. Thanks!

You might have to cut it or wrap around sides. Depending on room it might put out too much light. You could always put a dimmer switch on it.

It just depends on what you have in the room. Frustrating, I know. But you can't really "see" black light, only the things it illuminates. I would say, just go for it, or buy a nearly identical one at Walmart for $10. If it's too dark, tack a white sheet on one of the walls, and then you'll have plenty of light. You could also buy a regular black light bulb super cheap right now at almost any local store. (all on clearance post-halloween) .... Though it now occurs to me this was probably a Halloween party you were throwing... So I'll just stop talking now.

Designed for wall, but could probably work on soffits, the light would not be able to shoot very much.

D.I.Y projects are the best!!!! So happy to be able to share crafts with others. To answer your question I preferUsing a 40-60 watt regular light bulb (soft) I hope you have a great experience with your project. Good Luck

I suppose you could take something like a margarine tub lid and cut a hole for the knob and tape that over the light. That area does not get too hot but the tape would have to be carefully applied so as not to interfere with cleaning. You could also turn the unit around so that the light faces the wall.

The hardware that comes with the light is for a ceiling mounting. I'm sure you could rig something for a wall mount but don't know how well the light from the lamp would cover area?

Takes a regular incandescent flood light - don't think the energy efficient type will work as they have a wider base .

That will work as mine is about the same distance from wall. Creates a nice pleasant glow & it make's it easier on your eyes to watch HDTV in the dark, in fact I just leave it on 24/7 for it's ambient effects.

It depends heavily on how bright you want the effect to be and how far away you are able to place the fixture. In addition, there are two different lenses that allow you to have a wider or narrower field of effect based on your needs. In essence, there is no good way to answer. I can tell you from experience that I have had a usable effect covering an entire wall at the end of a large ballroom using the narrower lense in extremely low light, but to do so I had to place the unit itself at the opposite end of the room.Sorry if this is less than helpful...
