Will it take out a bulb that is not straight down, but sideways?

No. And it is pretty worthless anyway on most bulbs. It just doesn't work and definitely not on a sideways bulb. Frankly I don't believe the positive reviews.

How did you use it on the bulbs on your basement staircase that are angled? I tried and failed to get it to work on sockets that are angled below my roofline. It seems to only work on straight-on fixtures. Hint to manufacturer or clever entrepreneur: make an articulated head/claw.

we have lights in our basement staircase that are all angled & the Bayco is what we use & it works wonderfully!

Most of my outside bulbs are at an angle of some kind; the Bayco needs to be pretty close to straight-on with the lightbulb. So if you can stand off far enough so that the fingers hit the bulb fairly straight, it's no problem. If you can't, if the pole has to be at a big angle, it's going to be harder, maybe impossible, depending on the angle and distance. I didn't have any trouble with my lights at various angles, even 15' above ground, but it'll be different for every situation, probably.

The Bayco needs to be pretty close to straight-on with the light bulb. It will handle small angles, but no 90 degrees.

Yep - should work perfectly - the height of the sides can be adjusted for different sized bulbs. It's not cheap, but it is really cool

The swivel does move the bulb. I would say you can move it about 7 degrees or so.

Yes. I currently have mine installed upside down in an outside porch light fixture.

I don't know. Nuvo is quickly responsive if you contact them, as they were for me about another question I had. But, would you want to glance up and see the ugly bulb if it was hung downwards?

yes, there is a screw or nut when remove bulb. make sure power is off for safety.

If you use a small screw driver you may be able to lighty lift up the center contact to allow the bulb to connect in the direction you need. Do this only with the POWER OFF to the fixture. It worked for me.

You should definitely not be looking straight into the bulb when using it. OTOH it's set up so it will only work facing down on horizontal surfaces. If you try to turn it sideways, it will turn itself off. But if you want to be absolutely safe, protective glasses are available.

I think you could bend it to fit but I'm not sure! I am using it on a smaller bulb.

It will but it's not meant for it. if you put the lamp all the way to one side it will tip. It's really only good in the frontal arc over the batteries.i was able to get it maybe 45 degrees off center, which made it wobbly.

The short answer is yes. They are diodes so they only work one way. If the bulb doesn't come on turn it around. I found they fit a little loose and have a tendency to flicker. Hope this helps.

Not quite omni directional. If you look at the mfg website, http://www.g7power.com/A19-LED-Light-Bulb-870-Lumen-9.5-Watt.html, the beam angle is > 240. It's a decent bulb, just too tall & heavy for my needs. The cheapest I've ever seen it was $9.95.
1169357
Yes - screws off like a regular lampshade around the bulb. But I wouldn't use a heavy one, as it may become top heavy.

It should as its contingent upon the wattage of bulb you put in it. Like a desk or table lamp. Its more so about the bulb than anything.

Not sure but my guess would be no. The beam is conical as it comes off the lamp

Yes- I did that for my 2001 Pontiac Bonneville. There is no "up" or "down" orientation to the relector or lens, so you don't need to reverse them like on some rectangular style lamps. These are so bright (as-is) that I didn't bother to throw in 100w halogen bulbs like I have on many other auxiliary lamps. Very happy with the light pattern too: I see much better to the side of the road- far enough ahead for safe visibility at highway speeds on winding roads.

Yes. It has a small motor that simply changes the angle of the bulb to project it out further. Works great.
