I don't smoke a pipe, but since I can't even light a cigarette with the stupid thing, I would stick with Zippo - or, a long kitchen match like my dad used.

I light my pipe with it. I had to turn the gas up a bit to get a longer flame, though.

The flames on lighters will point vertically regardless of the exit hole (unless it's a torch-style lighter, of course) so I don't see the advantage of a side hole to be that much better than this one. I'll agree with you on the look - it does maintain the "stock" look of the Zippo. I've had no issues of lighting like the other people, fortunately. I've had the flame up for up to a minute with no loss in intensity while firing up my cigars or lighting 30+ birthday candles (like I did last weekend)... using the butane that was packed in it. I can't say what'll happen when I refill it with my own butane (I've had it for a couple of weeks now) but I hope the flame quality doesn't change.

Can't comment from actual pipe experience. But I have been disappointed with how quickly this burns goes out after lighting. It doesn't hold a flame very long before going out. Could be my butane in fairness, but not impressed this far.

It can be attached either way, it's up to your preference with regards to space and area that you are trying to light

The picture we light with this is just 24 wide and 30 high. I agree with what T says, it's not going to be enough light on the picture you want. We have other art in our home that we use electrical light fixtures and they work perfectly for something of the size you refer to. One is similar in size to what you mention and we use about a 26/28 inch electrical light on it.

I would suggest pipe hangers at Lowe's or somewhere like that. They will go around the pipe and have a flat surface with a hole to mount the light to.

to your question: Yes, it can be easily lit with stick type matches or a Grill type lighter. Somtimes the igniters crap out and its just as easy. Nice little heater-have 2 of them. Very efficient.

yes, and it is actually better because it burns cooler. love this fixture!!!

Yes it takes a normal light bulb. I purchased this but ended up not using it. It doesn't look very good from bottom. You can see inside the sconce and the inner parts aren't very good looking. I would just go to Lowes. You will be able to see what one looks like hanging. I got a really good looking one from there.

If you want it to actually light up, you'll have to buy a Light cord. (Plug in for an outlet on one end, light socket on the other. To hang it I just got a little hook to screw into the ceiling. I got both at Walmart really cheap

It has been over a year since I ran the heater, so I am not positive. I recall that you can light it with a match or its own igniter anytime because it does not have a connection to an electrical plug. -Ben

Yes you can. I have standard 60 watt bulbs in mine. They give off more mood lighting. They look great!

Don't think so. The tip at the end completes the electrical circuit so if you cut it off, it won't heat. If you just connect the wires, or try to re-splice the tip, it could short out and blow your circuit breaker, or cause a fire. The one I bought was a little too long so after I completed the first winds around the pipe, I wrapped the whole thing with insulation and then wound the extra length of heat tape around the outside of the insulation so that the heat tape did not overlap and contact itself, as the instructions specify.

Don't know about that but this model shows up good enough with a little light. I personally don't like BBQ'ing in the poor lighting. I light up the BBQ so I can see the setup with a lamp, light or flashlight.

Yes you can. It has a standard incandescent light bulb socket which will accept incandescent bulbs, or compact fluorescent bulbs of any wattage. A great thing about these lights is that the shades are translucent off-white, so if you use fluorescent bulbs, the shade makes them less harsh in color and they give off a light similar to soft white incandescent.

I have PEX pipe so you can see it glow if the room is dark. If you have copper pipe, you should be able to feel if the pipe gets warm if you haven't used the water for awhile. Hope this helps.

Yes, you could. This is just bright enough to illuminate a grill in almost complete darkness. I'm certain you could find other uses for it, for like when you open a treasure chest! har har har! =)

I don't think you would be happy with this light kit as the light are the small "flame" tip lights. I wanted a regular light kit that uses regular type of light bulbs. The light from the "flame" tip bulbs are more for 'mood' than light.

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)
