I have 18' ceilings, would it be benificial to use a reflector to increase the lighting and bring down the lighting. If so what would you reccomend Th

Cut a hole in the center of an aluminum pie pan large enough to stay away from the Edison threads. Then put the base of the bulb through the hole and screw it into the socket. This will reflect the light down, and in the case that it is in a barn, it also protects the bulb from some of the bird droppings. That's the way we do things out here on the "farm".

I think you would need a flat ceiling or maybe you could shim it. I would check on the refund policy and see if you could make it work. Its worth it for the price.

For me out of the box, the pull chain was not long enough. I have more than 10' high ceilings in my bedrooms. This is enough for a small bedroom. There are pull extensions that can be bought at Home Depot, Lowes and even Walmart with different colors to match what you have.

You will need more light, these are for effect. I have a light hood plus two strips of LEDs, possibly could use more.

rlionheart is correct. However, I would recommend that you add an additional piece to your kit as I have done and stop at any local hardward store to purchase a light reflector Google "Optical Light Reflector." This will help with your light control when using a higher wattage bulb. It will also reflect the heat produced from the bulb away from your subject and allow for greater control of your light.

I agree with previous answer. We hung ours from a 17-foot ceiling and project onto a 10 X 20 wall that is only 15 feet away; this is in our 'hi-tech' area with subdued lighting and it gave us a nice effect.

It depends on how high you mount your light....I placed mine @ 15 feet high..and it is bright in a 12-15 ft. area...of course the higher you place it the less brightness you would have...although you could cast more softer light over a larger area..Hope that helps you..

Thanks for asking. I don't know the size of the area and ceiling height, and 9 watt is not really a lot. I think with a bunch of these bulbs installed, not so far away from each other, and with good reflectors you may be able to get a decent brightness. I also don't know if a single remote will be able to control multiple bulbs to adjust the colors. There are higher Watt RGB Leds available and of course, higher the watts, larger the heat sinks and amount of money you have to pay.

This is a very subjective question with a lot of variables. I am an artist myself with a large studio. The 10' ceilingIs not the problem, the light distribution is. Four lights is definitely insufficient. My studio is 17' x 30' and I have18 of these LED lights. But again, enough light, is a very personal issue. Make a temporary hookup and test.

I didn't end up keeping this light, it was too wide for the small area I was installing it, but it is open at the top, so the light should reflect off the ceiling.

I don't think the light is bright enough to do that. Need to use it for things up close.

Not that great in low light. You will need to light the room a little, try a red light or something to have an excuse for lighting :)

Absolutely not. I installed this fixture in my regular height dining room and the light is so bright I use my dimmer to lower the illumination. I think a higher ceiling might accommodate this light well as it gives off a bit of heat, and I am confident it will be well placed.

Yes you can. However I agree with Ray's answer - you would need to place them every 15-20 feet if you are going for a complete illumination. On my deck I have 2 mounted 7ft high 20ft apart pointing up so the light bounced on the second floor eves. The light illuminates the 75 X 15 ft. area nicely with a soft glow.

I never kept it closer then 12-18 inches. A lot of people are misinformed and put high powered LEDs to close and end up bleaching out the plants . A Google search will show that around a foot is optimal ..... Your not losing light

It probably could be done, but this light isn't intended to reflect up. It works beautifully reflecting down but it won't light a room 10 x 18 ft. It is more of a task light meant to give you a great light on a reading or work area. And it does that amazingly well.

No. My kitchen has 6 recessed lights and the ceiling is maybe 8 feet high and these are bright enough for me. I think the old light bulbs may have been 60 watt because I feel like the kitchen is a little bit dimmer than before. I changed them without actually checking what was there before. Anyways, because it's slightly dimmer I don't think at 18 feet the 40 watt equivalents will work for you
