Can the shade angle be adjusted so that it hangs at a right angle shining directly down (as shown in one of the pictures) vs. a tilt the way it appears in another?

You can do either. I have mine shining directly down and have the inner shade tucked in.
486780
Yes - it will stay in any position. But I have mine pointing straight down. Love it!
486781
Yes you can position the lamp to hang at a right angle. You can position it in a lot of ways.
486782
It hangs directly down. I have it behind my chair where it hangs straight down onto my newspaper. Excellent for reading without causing too much lightin the rest of the room if someone is watching TV.

The tilt appears to be built into the design of the lamp. I wouldn't have it any other way.
486784
Yes. The more you slide the top tube up/out, the more you can get the shade to shine directly down .
486785
Once the arch rod is fully extended and locked, the lamp shade will hang naturally straight down.

I bought one of these to match all new furniture, and it was totally NOT - NO WAY worth one dime. The base was not strong enough to hold the lamp up, at any slant, regardless what or where you have it setting....by the time I came home and it was toppled to the floor, AM would not refund the purchase...BEWARE!!!!

I would stick with the one from Progress Lighting. The way the shade has to fit on is by a special little disk in the center top of the shade. The disk has a cutout on the side so that you just slip it into a groove on the pendant bar. It doesn't have any screw on parts like regular shades.

The brightness of the light is not adjustable. But the angle of the lamp can be adjusted to direct where the light points.

Yes, the light tilts up and down. As you do this, there are a series of clicks where it can easily maintain each angle - no need to loosen and tighten any adjustment knobs. I've had this light for about 6 months now, and it is easily my favorite headlamp or even flashlight I've had. Very bright and with the focusing, you can create a perfect distribution of light without any bright (or dark) spots.

There is a brightness adjustment, but in direct sun light you may still have problems. I purchased an after market sun shade to help.
674766
Yes, you can. There's a licking mechanism so you can tilt it as much as you like. We've had ours for a year out at our pool where ther is no shade and love it. It's a perfect size.

You can flip the base to the front of the lamp and have it lean forward instead of backward. And you can also use it horizontally or vertically. These are the only adjustments.

If you do the light will be mounted sideways, but should still work but you won't be able to adjust it up and down.

It swivels 360, but upside down the clip wouldn't hang the shade properly.Yes you can remove the clip and reverse it, but it is a tenacious little clip and hard to remove without doing damage. Also, then you would have to reach behind the glass the turn the light on and off. I made stained glass panels for mine, so could make them any length, but I don't know if the switchables panels are long enough to cover the bulb when upside down, so check that as well. The reversible feature seems to be mainly useful for adapting to fit either side polarized outlet -- you couldn't hang it sideways, either.

You can set it where you need it. The lamp folds outward to adjust the angle of light. The solar panel is adjustable for the best angle to the sun.

Yes, the light housing indeed tilts up/down. Note that it can be mounted atop the battery compartment, or mounted separately (using the provided ground stake), and has adjustable tilt in either case.

It tilts. You can also fold it completely onto itself so it just gives off a little sliver of light. Worth the money IMO

Yes-- the lamp that I received can be adjusted. But, it looks a little strange when its not fully extended...

There are two screws on each side to adjust the angle, but if it was mounted crooked, vertically, then no.

You can pretty much change the horizontal angle to any one that you want by using the adjustable legs that spin the mirror around and by moving it either up or down get the right vertical angle. It's a pretty useful gadget, my daughter LOVES hers, and she's kinda on the picky side! Good luck!

It cannot be pointed at a significantly downward angle. It does tilt *slightly* down, perhaps ten degrees at an estimate, but it's a very subtle tilt. It can tilt at an upward angle far more significantly.

I mounted both the two lite and three lite upside as pictured. I thought the description said they can be mounted downward. The glass shade is secured with an inner ring, hence no reason to contradict the description.Chance is good that you will be forced to mount upside due to possible interference with a vanity mirror below it and if using the existing fixture mounting hole. I too originally wanted to mount downward for better look.
