When used as an undercounter light, approx 18" above the countertop, how wide of a usuable area does it light? Would it light an area 60" wide?

I love this undercounter light, it give out a nice glow. I have two in my kitchen.

It is limited to a 60 watt bulb. Not going to be super bright in a big room.

Mine is mounted about 15' high on the side of my house, centered along a 26' wall. I have a 26'x36' patio there - this light covers the entire area plus some perimeter. Remember, light, like all energy, decreases with the square of the distance; that is, move 2x out, it is 4x less. Out 3x, it is 9x less, and so on. I am able to read a paper anywhere on my patio. All this for pennies per hour!

yes the Iland in my kitchen is slightly larger and 2 lights are ample. We use 60W equivalent LED bulbs.

We use it add a spot light. It is about 15 ft up with a cone about 5 feet wide

I just have the squiggle kind in there, probably the one that is equivalent to 100 w. Maybe on the bottom it says what it can take but frankly, the base is too heavy to easily turn over to see. I got it before the LED ones were really widespread. It does not illuminate a wide area; I have it over a table where I have a small sculpture, and it's great for that. If you want a room illuminating light, look for the LeKlint pendant lamps.

Probably not great for under counter, because from the top to the center of the tv would be 20 inches at the minimum. Good from the ceiling though. If you are interested in under cabinet, I would buy a smaller one.

Hi William, this light is 4.5" in diameter and responds to motion and heat. I'm not the expert here but seems to me that placement of this light under the cabinet fixture in the kitchen might not be the best model of light get. If it's placed underneath the cabinet, I would think you'd have to do some hand or arm-waving to activate it but then it'll turn itself off once the movement stops. But then, you could adjust it to stay on constantly. If the light is placed on the wall that is beneath the cabinet, it'll definitely turn on when it senses movement/heat but if it's in so close proximity to your eyes, I think it's safe to say, you'd need a very DARK pair of SUNGLASSES to protect yourself from the intense glare from this automatic light. I guess the thought here, is having adequate height, distance and field of motion to consider this lighting for your under-a-cabinet fixture in the kitchen. It's a very good auto-light but may not be your best solution to lighting up your kitchen area. That's just a thought.

I don't know its limit, as far as distance. However I shine it into the back of my yard, which is about 150 feet away, and it lights everything up quite well. As far as the spread of the beam, I would say it's in between a wide beam and a spot. I have owned the light for about 6 months, and I have no complaints, especially for the comparatively low cost.

We have this on our frig as my husband is legally blind and he uses it to check things out in the Kitchen cabinets. It has an intense light for maybe 5 feet but spreads out to maybe 10 feet. We usually do not use it in complete darkness though so others might be able to give a better answer.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

I do not recommend this light. It only lasted for a week before it quit working. The LED light is only effective for the area right under the light. So a 12" x 12" square is all of the effective coverage you should expect.

Depends on how much light you want for the area....I have it in my garage, and it generates enough light to ensure that I don't trip over any tools but it is much dimmer than a standard 60W bulb

Not sure, They operate under counter lighting in my kitchen, basically if I move anywhere downstairs the lights will come on at least 30 feet, and probably further.

Sorry for the delay. Like most open LED lights, the spread is pretty wide xcept for the smaqll focused beam. I wound say close to 60

I didn't end up keeping this light, it was too wide for the small area I was installing it, but it is open at the top, so the light should reflect off the ceiling.

If you have the lights underneath there is not enough room. Less than 1" under my cabinet after installation. Underneath my cabinet measures 10 7/8". Maybe yours is larger? I do love this device in my small galley kitchen.
