Is this lamp suitable for mounting up or down?

No..the glass lampshade is not attached to the frame. You can only mount it as shown

Either way works. Due to the space that was left from a previous mount I have it mounted down.

Yes, and we debated but finally hung them with opening down as they are in the foyer with paintings underneath. We love them and used small candle type bulbs that cant be seen hanging out underneath. Friendly and inviting.

I think it is a little high. The lamp is not very heavy. A simple screw or nail will hold it up.

Yes it can. it COmes with a cap to place over when the light kit is removed - you can also flush mount it without using the downrod

Yes, these can be operated either base up or down, as long as they have sufficient airflow to avoid overheating. Unlike the 75-watt and under bulbs, fully- or even mostly- enclosed fixtures will cause the 100-watt bulbs to quickly overheat & burn out. When mounted base-down, the downward light distribution is not significantly different than it would be with an incandescent bulb.

It is called a Edison base. Any light bulb with an Edison base will work. The extension will not support any weight. So for practical use it must hang downward.

My answer was short as I was on my phone. The Glass shade is held down with a large plastic nut that you see on most table lamps so its pretty sturdy. I dont see any reason why it cannot be installed upside down :)

Yes, you can mount it that way , you can get it to point in any direction. I really like this light alot.

Not really, If your lamp holder lets you you can aim the light a little, but remember you can attach this to either side or front/back so, you are able to put the light where you want it.

Yes, it can be mounted both ways. I have this one mounted in the down position becuase my wired connection was to close to the ceiling. Infact I have a 2 light one as well but it's mounted in the up position, but I'm considering mounting it upside down to match the 3 light one in our upstairs bathroom.

The lower lamp only swivels from the point that is close to where the glass is attached. It has very little movement. I would say it would not be good for that purpose.

yes you can hang it downward instead of upward. the only thing you might want to downsize to 3 laps because it will be a lot of light shining down.

I wouldn't recommend hanging it upside down. The glass does not sit securely in the base of the light fixture so there is some play in the glass. There is a nut that hold the glass in place but it just doesn't seem that secure to me. Good luck and happy hunting.

Of course. Just make sure the light is pointed out to whatever is behind you for maximum visibility. You don't want it aimed at an upward or downward position.

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.

The actual mount is a round hole where the entire lamp sits in. There is a screw which allows you to secure the whole lamp. The had of the lamp can swivel in many directions and you can screw the pivots tight enough so they will stay in one position. This lamp is very big, as long add you have enough room to secure and pivot I don't see why not. The mount is just a metal clamp with a screw like press to fasten to a desk. Very similar to a C-clamp

NO, the lamp only adjusts to about a 90 degree position. further lowering is prevented by one of the balance arms. i also recommend adding a lamp dimmer to the cord, if that is a feature that you might like, since it comes with only an on/off switch. melissa byars' answer is incorrect for this lamp.

To some degree, but only downward, I think that if it were to be more flexible, it may not be able to stay in a certain position. Hope that helps, over all my kids love this lamp, exellent for homework.
