can this light replace a 'recessed' porch light and still work?

I put it on the ceiling in the hallway, and it works. It depends on how low your light holder on the wall, it won

Yes. Pull 2 pins to remove the old light install the new light and replace the pins.

It works perfect on my porch...for the garage it will work... only I don't think it will light it up like a spot light will.

I don't have a porch, but our eaves hang lower. We don't have any problems with the light fixture. Still very happy with it.

We have this timer on our front porch. Our lights on the front porch are CFL bulbs. The first timer we installed ended up not working very good, but we had another one. My husband installed it almost a year ago and it's working just fine. We set the time we want the light to come on and the time for the lights to turn out. Can't complain.

I would think so, but you'd be smart to get a diagram or look at the specifications of the fixture with an electrician or even someone in the light department at Home Depot if you're DIY. The fixture is returnable if it doesn't fit.

If you have wiring for the light on the porch ceiling, you could. That would be a really fancy porch�

Look for a model (the light will be similar to this one) with the motion sensor and base attached. This light could be adapted to your situation but you would be throwing money away buying all the other parts.

Probably not. It doesn't stay on very long, and doesn't always come on when I walk in front of it. I have it installed above my front door mainly so if I forget to leave the porch light on I will have some light to find the keyhole to put in my key and open the door. The light lights up my front porch -- maybe 4'x4' -- but not much else and only sometimes since it doesn't always come on. And, like I said, it doesn't stay on long, probably less than 30 seconds, though I've never timed it.

Yes, Kathie, it would be possible to use one, provided both lights are on the same lamp post and I would suggest having a professional wire it in. Mine works like a charm and is the best security light I have found.

That depends on humidity. The light fixture will work anywhere, but since it is made of salt, the humidity i the air might damage it. Do a test: get some small pink himilayan salt chunks from your local whole foods or wegmans and put them in a little bowl on your porch. Observe how they hold up for a few weeks. If they don't erode or degrade in any way, then you should be fine with using this lamp on your porch. Hope that helps! :)

Direct sunlight is best. If your porch gets some strong indirect light you may be ok. I have mine in a partially shaded area and it works just fine. Gets about 4 hours of direct light and that is enough to keep it lit thru the night

I currently is in use in a recessed porch light. Door-side response is immediate. The entry path may be limited by the amount the bulb is recessed. Our light turns on about 8-10 feet from light. I'd like it to turn on a little further out but must assume that the recess has limited the range of response. Overall I am please with the performance.

I would have to say the light coverage would be every bit as good as any other type of bulb in a recessed light fixture. The lights are only warm to the touch, so there would not be any heating issue.

No. The switch is on the side so it would be inaccessible if it were recessed.

I have mine in my porch lights and don't really like the light they give off compared to incandesants. I may try a higher wattage because most lights call for 60 watts because of the heat an incandesant gives off but I think the new bulbs are cooler. Just don't count on them lasting five years . You will be lucky if you get six months.

I used it on the porch light of my camper and it works great. I google searched #93 bulb vs 1156 bulb and it said they have the same base, so I believe this should work for you.
