The third light that is shorter...is that supposed to be used as a backlight? Wouldn't you want it to be taller?

I have found, for my purposes, the two taller units work well enough that I seldom use the short one. As the previous respondent said, you can use it for a back light if you want, or place it anywhere you think you might need extra illumination.

I believe the shorter light is actually used for product photography as it is very versatile and easily placed on a table or beside a small product photography box setup. You could use it as a fill or backlight but it is indeed very short and best used where the larger tripods and setups couldn't be used.

It is not a three way bulb that dims at three settings on a switch. I does fit in a standard socket and con be used with an infinite dimer switch. By the way. I love this bulb! It did not fit in my fixture globe but I let it stand out by it self. The design is so attractive.

You could, but with 1 bulb pointing up the light only comes out from the top. It would look strange horizontal

The back is the same material as the sides. If by backlight, you mean put a light at the back like you do at the sides, I would think it would work.

Yes, that is correct. And the actual lights are spaced at 3" intervals. However, I had one light fail after a few months.

I do not think the three way actually works. I have to click twice just to get it to light once. Given the thinness of the shares it might be a good thing that it doesn't get brighter!

No. This is supplemental lighting for decorative purposes only. You should use a proper light.

I believe it's considered SHORT .. there are some that have a longer neck. But it fits my recess lighting and it doesn't stick out of the socket. Hope this helps. : )

Is that even useful? 37" seems like a really nice size (I'd love something bigger than 32", but 40" seems like it's pushing it). Really I'd *LOVE* an LED backlight and would pay for it, but since those seem to be virtually nonexistant at the moment in these sizes, Sony's best 37" seems like a nice choice.

I couldn't find one that would fit, so I wrapped the light with parchment paper and clips. Added more to diffuse the light. Wish there was an optional accessory for it though. :/

I have the 18" light and on mine I can only adjust it to a longer length, I can't shorten it..

I ran into the same issue years ago when I would buy lamps in Europe. At that time, I would just change out the sockets. Yes, you have it backwards in this case, you need a reducer, from E14 to E12, which will not have the height problem or visual I had going the other way. I believe Satco makes one, there are probably others, just research E14 to E12 reducer. Best wishies, enjoy your new treasure. PS Or you can buy the E14 LED Bulbs in the USA, which is how I got involved in all this.

No glass lens, bulb socket points to the side, and nothing 3" long will fit in here. I used LEDs that are less than 1" long, I believe they are described in my review of the light fixtures.

Yes. The light is very bright for its size. If you don't think its bright enough add a second light.
