I want to spot at 63" width and 42" hight picture...do you think this light will cover the area and have some brightness? tks

The picture size you describe would not be covered by this light. Perhaps you could use 2 lights if you want, that would cover it.

My two cents--I don't think it is like a spot beam. It seems to have a pretty good spread. Brightness is going to have a lot to do with the room, color of the walls, size. The light is pretty much the same as coming through a frosted glass. We got it for the fan and have additional lighting in the room.

I apologize for the delayed answer. I returned my unit because I didn't think the LEDs were bright enough to light the space I had in mind. I think the unit's LEDs, even if all were lit to yield white, would be washed out by the lights, unless perhaps the 60 watt lamps were quite far from the white wall. If you used only one of R-B-G sections of the Mega Bar, I think the color would show, but the color would be at least somewhat washed out, if not quite pale. Finally, I think the LED technology in this small package needs some growth and improvement, probably with brighter LEDs to begin with.

No problem. If I point the lamp straignt down, I can get it to throw a 14" diameter circle of bright light. If I angle it to the side a bit the spot becomes an oval easily over 2 feet wide and 3 feet long. This lamp is a spot light that makes a great task light, but it doesn't contribute much to lighting a room. Without another lamp near by, there is a spot of bright light and not much else.

It would look nice, but it does not put out a lot of light. It would really depend on how much light you need in that space.

John,I used my light for under the counter task lighting. I don't think it will do the job for a larger area of 25 square feet.

It would work well at that height for a small area and be very bright directly underneath. The higher you mount the more the light will spread. I think 14 ft is optimum. Mine are mounted at 15ft and spaced about 10ft apart. Very uniform light configured like that.

I guess it would work in a covered area. The light isn't that bright though. Maybe equivalent to a very bright nightlight, but with larger radius.

this light is more of an ambient light. Even though the bulb is fairly bright the distance of projected light is about 12". I would say that two of these lights would not be enough lighting for an image that large. I have one over a 24" x 19" pastel at dusk and the top third shows up in a darkened room. This light is best used on small imagery. The screw mount bracket is 5 5/32" x 1 1/2" and has a built in level.

I have it in a bedroom (150 sq ft with 9' ceilings) and it's more than enough light. Might not be suitable for a large room with very high ceilings though.

One of these lights would work PERFECTLY for a 3 ' x 3' area! Using the math for the calculated light spread, you would be able to lower the panel to 13.5" of height and still have awesome core coverage to all sides of the room.

It gives off adequate light in the bedroom (12x12)we have it in. Not sure it would be enough in a large formal dining or living room area. Hope it helps.

somewhere around the perimeter on the top. put as close as you can to the edge ,otherwise there will not be enough clearance for the light to fit properly

It depends on the distance. At 10' the spot is about 10", at 20' about 20" and so on. It has the brightness to do it though. Hope that helps

It is not too big for a average size hard cover book but I think it will be too bright to have it so close to the page. I cant get it to dim just on and off.This is a very good lamp. I would buy it. It also has legs that pull out from the side

I have three paintings 18" X 22" and one 22" x 30" all four of them luminate very well. Im still very happy with these lights!! I hope that helps you,,,I agree with the other comment as well. It's your own interpretation of illumination. I have a couple hard wired painting lights in another room they of course are like a spot light and I use a dimmer to keep the lighting right for my own taste. I have three of the Rite Lite LPL602B in my living room I use with the 18" X 22" paintings and the ambience is perfect. occasionally Ill will even dim them a bit .

It won't be as bright as normal lighting, and it's on the bluish side, but I've been able to light my studio apartment well enough to see everything. Plus, you can pop the top off, exposing the LEDs, and if you hang it by the bottom hook from the ceiling it will light things up pretty well.
