does this work as a downlight?

Absolutely. Not a directed down light but it is the fixture that lights the mirror over the sink in our powder room. You can see the installation if you Google Elijah H Hall House and click on the "Renovation" tab. It may also be see at VRBO# 626255

Maybe not. This is a purely decorative light. Looks great, but does not give off a tremendous amount of light and uses a special bulb.

Yes, I believe it would. It has a setting for the brightness of the light. Just be careful of the amount of tension on the head strap so there is no discomfort. It is an adjustable light also, so this would be excellent to point down at your reading material. Hope this helps, and happy reading:)

Yes, I also have up/down lights and it works for both. The light switch has a "rocker" function, press the upper half for up lights, lower half for down lights.

Yes, it would work, but I wouldn't use it as my reading light most of the time, just for special occasions, like camping or something.

This is not that bright only because it's designed to shine downward. It's for a hallway or a staircase. It works fine for my application but I wish it was slightly brighter.

Yes, but you should use a dome or clamp type lamp. The bulb should be mounted either vertically, facing down or horizontally.

Absolutely. This light works wonderfully. I bought 2 so far. I will buy more. Hope this helps you decide. Enjoy!

Hello, this specific chandelier does not have a down-light. Currently our only rectangular shaped chandelier has down-lights. We do have many options though, so please take a look as we likely have one or several that meet your needs. Thanks Muskoka Lifestyle Products Dot Com

No, I don't think so Deb. However, I cannot be sure as I sent the light back after deciding the build quality was inferior to what I had expected.

Yes. It goes from about 41" to about 54", so you could use it both as a reading light or a task light.

The lower lamp only swivels from the point that is close to where the glass is attached. It has very little movement. I would say it would not be good for that purpose.

If you use the original support, yes. It has a bolt which allows you adjust it right to left, and up or down. However the original bulbs are on the dim side.

I think it would make a pretty good light, bu you might need to prop it up on something to get the right angle. I have tried it and found that it is a really good light and I will be buying another!

I personally wouldn't recommend it since it is not made to be a ceiling light, it is a plug in lamp.

I have not tried it for that purpose but the light bulb only points directly in one direction..up or down depending on which way the socket is pointing. It is more for ambience that anything.

I don't think it's rated for it. But I would avoid this light. It stays on all day, due to it being under a 12" overhang. The sensor in mine doesn't ever turn the light off.
