How well will this product work on a skylight- will it stay up?
2037128
it worked great. This is the easiest product to apply that I have found. I have done 40 windows so far and expect to do more before the summer is over. I have mentioned it in my book and blog.

If you install it properly and don't rush through it will. Make sure you don't clean the area with windex prior to applying this film or it will counteract and fall off and not stick. Then you want to use the application kit spray (can be ordered on amazon).. then you just spray that up in the window and take a squeegee with the film and apply. I found out since I have 2 skylights I rushed the second one and it fell down but the first window stayed up perfectly. Just don't rush the job and use the application kit bottle. However, my skylights are leaking so now I'm getting them removed from my roof. I've HAD it with skylights.

It should. It hasn't slid off my normal window that gets a lot of direct sun.

I think it will, but I did not put it on a skylight. It will be a difficult task because you will need to make a soapy water spray bottle to spray the window, and the film on both sides. It is a two person job. Don't leave bubbles and good luck!

Hello, it will stay up but good luck getting bubbles out and both of the rolls I received had scratches on them. I would pass on this product!

If it's a "Dusk to Dawn" light, hanging it upside down might be a problem since the sensor is on the "top". A motion detector type hung upside down may not give you the range of adjustment (for the motion detector sensor) you need.

I mounted mine directly to existing mount for light below eves of home to illuminate backyard. No real mounting height recomendations came with. I'd sy no higher than 20'feet. If go that high you will be amazed of how large an area you will illuminate.

I have one on the ceiling above a dresser and its definitely bright enough at that distance which is about 5.5 feet. The back of the light does come with 2 notches that you slide on the nails or screws and locks into place. Works great for me so far

Sunsetter no, I haven't used. As long as the bolt is long enough to pass through the light it will work. I have an eagle and a ball. Both work as the base bolt is about 2" long. Plenty of room for the light and it is secure.

I have mine set up on a stairwell that has a skylight above it, so it's getting the full amount of sunlight. But it works great. It turns on and off exactly when I would want it to.

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!

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

While I have not installed it on an inclined ceiling, I am sure that it will work and that the trim around the install will work just as well. I do not believe that it matters if you use it for a hanging light or a suspended chandelier it should work fine.

Definitely bright enough, I may be concerned about the mount moving around though. It will not fall off but bumps may cause it to shift around.

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

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, it works with fluorescent blubs in a vertical lamp. It would not work in a hang down type lamp.

I'm not too sure what you mean by let it stay lit. With this setup you would probably be better off using a speed light and they ll will go off as you trigger them.

It works with any fixture that has a hook at each end. Fixture length doesn't matter. The other hook attaches to your ceiling or whatever you intend to support the fixture with. I bought #10 screwhooks from Home Depot to attach to the ceiling. Once hung the light height can be finely adjusted up by pulling the cord through the ratchet or down by releasing the ratchet.

I haven't had any probs with the light being reliably mounted in place. Having said that, I ride on road only so no bumps (weather here in CA is pretty good). My subjective opinion is that it shouldn't be a problem, but then again perhaps for mountain biking the mount won't hold up. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Sure-It's very bright & adjustable. Just never leave it on the pole. It will fail if it even gets damp!
