Do these bulbs shine up into the fixture as well as spot down? I have a pretty glass globe that looks best if the light goes up and down.

Don't know--I use them outside in our landscape lights. These are not screw-in lights--they have two prongs on them.

The light fixtures I have are built in a way that allows the light to only shine upward.

I don't recall saying that, but lows shine up to the top of the housing and high shine down. And thoughts... Get the higher wattage ones, these just aren't bright enough

Hello. I would recommend using two lower wattage bulbs for an optimum look if brightness is an issue. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

no they should not... maybe when it's at low... make sure all the bulbs are the same on the circuit or dimmer.

They dim fine. I had issue with 2 out of 14 that buzzed. I notice that they only buzz at particular levels. returned the 2 and end up with 1 still buzzing. I move that one to a different fixture with dimmer and the buzzed keep on. so in the end I just move it to an on/off lamp.

No, I haven't even noticed them. We have lower wattage bulbs that don't get too bright anyway- more of a softer light- so it hasn't been an issue.

I have them mounted upside down Works fine. You have to be careful putting on the glass globes with the tool they provide. Globes are kind of delicate but with a little patience it works ok and looks fine

I don't know what your fixture looks like but I have 3 of these in my bathrooms. I just added one to our porch light and one to the front yard light. They are perfect and I look forward to them lasting for years! sorry if I am not much assistance

Yes. I have mine on a dimmer and they look gorgeous on the lower light setting

They seem to get hot enough to prevent the build up. Although they don't get as hot as halogen or hid lights. One thing I have noticed when they get dirty they seem to effect the been pattern more than with other lights. Not a complaint just an observation.

These would be perfect. The globes are approx. 8 inch diameter they hold 60 watt bulbs. We purchased a dimmer switch for ours.

I used these lights as a retrofit for my fluorescent fixtures and I am more than pleased with them. They give off much brighter and better light than the fluorescent tubes they replaced. One of these fixtures was above the vanity and my wife has never complained about not having enough light. Our coach also has a vanity light right below this fixture (at the top of the mirror) and she never uses it because she doesn't like the light it gives off. Hope that helps.

Personally I think these give off an artificial yellowy tinted light. I would suggest going with a different bulb if you're looking for a natural quality to the light it produces.

Yes, they are amazing like that :) Just a suggestion, tho: I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

I would say that, while it does shine down, it mostly shines out and up. And, does not shine directly down. But, I have it in my kitchen and in a bathroom chandelier and, for the most part, it is fine. If I had to use a percentage I would put it at 70% up and out and 30% down

I had regular bulbs in at first but they stuck out farther than the edge of the glass shade, so we put in the flat small spot light type bulbs and it looks much better
