Is it okay to install this upside down so that the light openings are facing down?

Yes, it can be installed either way. We preferred to install it facing up because we wanted to use energy efficient light bulbs. This way the light bulbs are not visible. Also this light fixture is fairly large and we didn't want the lights to hang over the vanity mirror.

Absolutely fine. We purchased this fixture with that method as the preferred installation and use 40 watt flame-tip clear bulbs. Great upgrade.

Yes, I actually have mine installed that way with no problem.I think they look better that way.
1775976
Yes. We installed our lights facing down. They look great. We were also able to find some smaller 40 watt size bulbs without the bulb imprint marking showing on the bottom of the bulb.

I installed this fixture with the opening facing down looks and works great

Yes, it would be fine either way. I did choose to put mine facing up because I do not want to see the bulbs-- just my personal choice.

Yes! We installed ours so the light is facing down and it looks/works great.

Yes. That is exactly how I installed mine with the glass shades pointing down. It is a beautiful fixture and I highly recommend it.

Yes. It will be fine to install upside down. It is very secure. The Mac mini will not fall out of the cage or get damaged.

The ring that holds the arm to the pole secures with an allen wrench. I think this configuration would be possible as long as the pole is as well secured as it would be normally. There is nothing on the arm that prevents it from installing upside down.

I have never mounted this light upside down and wouldn't recommend it. The mounting has a keyhole feature and seats very well rightside up - probably not so good the other way.

Yes, I mounted it with lights downward. This way it better fits my interior and keeps the glass clean longer.

I don't see why not you couldn't mount them upside down. As long as you have the clearance necessary AND the flat mounting spaces needed for the light's bases, it shouldn't be a problem. The question is, will the lights have some type of protection (from road debris flying up) or enough clearance for stuff like speedbumps and those concrete parking space things. The bumper might clear them, but something sticking five or six inches in front of it, hanging down, might not.

I have mine installed on the patio fans which is also upside down. As long as the bulbs do not exceed the wattage rating listed on the lamp you should be ok. Also I ordered the 60W bulbs, but recieved 45W, just something to watch for.

I don't see any reason it couldn't be installed upside down. Clamp would then stick up above top of hutch tho.

If it's a "Dusk to Dawn" light, hanging it upside down might be a problem since the sensor is on the "top". A motion detector type hung upside down may not give you the range of adjustment (for the motion detector sensor) you need.

You should be done but hubby says yes . The positions of what where are a matter of your choice. I have the light up and the vent in the bottom position.

The outlet plugs rotate a full 360 degrees on the back of the nightlight so they would work on an upside down outlet. Just turn the plug on the back 180 degrees and the hanger will be in the correct orientation for the decorative cover.

I use a couple of mine upside down and have not had any issues. They feel just as hot as being right side up. The heat sink has openings on both ends and let's the heat flow through. I use them with open enclosures though. If you place them in enclosed light fixtures that could cause LED failure from too much heat. I think the only warnings I've read from the Lifx manual are to stay away from moisture, such as a bathrooms, and enclosed light fixtures.

The holder is probably upside down, I had that happen to me when I first installed

Exactly what I do, although you do not have to flip it upside down. Just tilt to the side a bit and you should have no problem.

You can mount them either way. If the light is upside down from the way you want it to be, just unscrew the lens, turn it over and put it back together the way you want.
