will this work if the light bulb is pointed towards the ground ? thanks you all.

should work fine. just don't buy if you have a plastic or frosted housing because the glare will make it flicker. The sensors are too sensitive and only work in clear or glass housings.

I purchased this and it did not work. It is pointed to the ground. Maybe that is the reason.

Yes, mine is pointed toward the ground rather than up to the sky. I have to admit the unit is failing after a year plus use. I have to either flick the blub or screw the bulb a bit tighter for it to operate. I maybe should replace the bulb but it does stay lit each night by doing this seemingly simple procedure.

Motion sensor should work equally well with horizontal outlet. There is no specific reason for it to be vertical.The light is not heavy enough to cause a "twisting" problem in the outlet. It should work just fine. Have 3 of these, and all work perfectly.

I guess it would work too. I am impressed how well it goes on every time I enter. It took a few attempts for the bulb to start working but now it works like clockwork. The light is good but it is not a big spotlight.

How did you use it on the bulbs on your basement staircase that are angled? I tried and failed to get it to work on sockets that are angled below my roofline. It seems to only work on straight-on fixtures. Hint to manufacturer or clever entrepreneur: make an articulated head/claw.

The light will spin on is post almost completely 360 degrees. Referring to the picture, the light is at it's midpoint of tilt. Using the the bulbs axis as reference, the light will move from parallel to completely perpendicular to the base.

It only works with a failed electrical circuit. (No power to the outlet).It would not detect a bulb going out.

If it is a single light bulb pointing straight down and it is not too small, the shade should work.

As long as it's not facing the streetlight, it should probably go on............but only when there is movement. Put your hand over the light sensor to check that it's working.

I see no reason that it would not work. It can be easily adjusted to put light where you need it. You may use up a lot of batteries if you use this area frequently.

As long as you have a flat surface to mount the light to, the light can be turned any way you want. So if you have a stake in the ground I would recommend putting a piece across the top to make a T and mount it to the top of the T. The light can swivel on the mounting bracket. And the light is sealed so no worries about that. Very bright too!

Nothing. Nothing in the wiring touches ground, and external to the bulb, all the wiring is AC, so it should work normally and not hurt anything.

I put it up high on the end of my house where the street light did not hit. Probably 18 to 20 feet up. You can set the sensor for the direction you want. Not as bright as an electric light but plenty of light so see to get up the sidewalk without stumbling over something. Considering another for the back of my house.

It should, but I cannot get mine to work. I tried new batteries and a bulb. I would go with something more substantial. This thing is cheap!

it will work if there is at least an inch or so between the side of the bulb and the can.

This bulb would only work where you have a center plug in setup. Mine was in a ceiling light and I ended up actually replacing the fixture totally, the bulb wasn't the problem. What you should do is direct the question to Helene not me.

All I can tell you is that it MAY work -- but only if the light figure is not slanted. The product did not work for us because our ceiling lights are about 35' above the floor and are in fixtures that are mounted in a slanted church ceiling.

At it's lowest setting, the bottom edge of the light box is a little over a foot off the ground. I think it would work.
