Installation - perpendicular to A frame direction or parallel to? I was looking at the installation instructions online and they appear to show the light should be installed immediately above the apex of the A frame and running in the same direction. Other installation videos show the light installed 90 degrees to the apex of the A frame, the stated reason being that the light will directly hit both sides of the A Frame coils. Thoughts?

The light should be on the inlet side and in the center of the duck back far enough so the light covers all of the colie, it should also be almost as long as the case is wide the bulb should not touch the case but come close hope this helps .

I installed with the direct (parralell ). That seemed to be most direct exposure area.

I installed mine in the return to kill bacteria and germs (primarily for winter). I plan on installing a second one for the a-coil soon. The response that says install on the inlet side makes the most sense but you would need to be very confident as to the direction of the a-coil before you drilled the hole or it could be a very expensive mistake. I hard wired mine on a relay system so it only comes on when the furnace comes on. It should last 10 times longer.

I think the placement is about right. It keeps the speed light or source almost center. Remember point the light toward the back or side of the modifier, not the front. I think its perfectly normal. You could always call the people at Wescott, they are awesome!

I gave this as a gift to someone else. I have an earlier version of this light and I use it on the side of my house in a narrow walkway. Like the other responder, it is important to angle it properly. Mine comes on when I'm within 6 feet of it. I recommend that you study the range you want it to come on and adjust it to that angle. You may have to adjust it by testing at night. It is fairly easy to adjust the angle. Good luck!

To expand upon the previous correct answers, the wires come out the back thru a short threaded 1/2" conduit nipple. The nipple must be screwed into a an electrical box that is tapped for 1/2" conduit. The nipple is attached to the rest of the unit with a swivel mount so the unit can be aimed. Typically, you'd screw it into the same box that the lighting fixture is mounted on. It should be positioned so that the photo eye cannot detect the light from its own fixture.

No, I installed it straight, but it can be installed at an angle. It does have it's limitations, but as long as you anchor it properly, it should be fine.

Yes, the light can be installed either direction. We installed it facing downward looks very pretty.

These lights mount right to the side wall. The pole mount is just an option. I mounted mine directly to my pole barn siding. We really like this light!! It does a great job without fail. We live in Michigan where it has to work in the freezer and,,,,IT DOES!!!

Yes installation is straight forward . Spread lights evenly apart. Installs just like any other light.

sorry, we can't tell you that, cause ours is just sitting on some boxes. we weren't able to mount it because it had to face sideways to work for our flourescent garage light.

You can mount the bulb in any direction. The light output is typical of a regular incandescent light bulb. So the light comes out of the bulb evenly all around it. You will be very happy with the LED bulb.

Hello.I build for my friends that own a warehouse 2 aluminum frames and hung 12 of these fixtures in groups of three(total 24) . I would recommend to alternate between the highest light temperature and a daylight one, so if you mix them, you get a very nice result. The light is very uniform, and you can do some degree of precision work with it.

I do not. I have 3 2x4's on either side of the metal frame and there is only 8 inches from the edge of the frame to the perpendicular walls. This means the wall cannot flex nor can the frame. It could be that your fixture is not bolted to the large threaded studs tightly enough, which is an easy problem yo fix.

I agree with both previous answers. I think it depends on what size (watts or lumens) bulb you put in and how you point them. For example, I have mine mounted above the door of a 24-foot wide garage and have three vehicles parked in front of and one beyond the edge of the garage, which is about 90 feet back from the street. I have 90-watt bulbs installed and point them out and to the sides. It is more than bright enough to illuminate all three and more than halfway to the street. I am very happy with mine. I, too, had some from Home Depot that quit after a relatively short time. This one is still working great! More expensive, yes, but worth it in the long run. I agree with both previous answers.

use this link to see actual views of the different lights. http://www.modernbike.com/guide.asp?ListID=61 I used this site when making my decisions. Others have complained about mount but I have no issues with it.

No, the brackets channel or opening runs parallel to the lens/LEDS. So which ever way the light is facing the mounting bracket is also facing.

mr. o'shea, I really like this light fixture, but now that it is installed in a corner under a cabinet i can't see the back. I checked several web sites for better pictures of the unit, but it is only shown in the box or from the part that you would normally see. The next best option is to go to a home depot (that's where they sell them around here) or another store that carries the light and open the box to get the information that you are looking for hands on before making a buying decision.
