Do you know if this will work on the ceiling of a shower? I understand similar lights will work only if the surrounding area is very dark. Thank you.

I wouldn't recommend that, but I'm sure the shipper could best answer this question. I used my light in the closet....it works great.

There is an off/on button that allows you to manually turn the light on. If the button is switched to the "on" position, you will have light. My Hipo lights come on, even when there is a lot of other light around.

I don't think the light is bright enough for a shower (it wouldn't be for me).

This light works very well in very dark conditions...an unlit closet or as a motion detecting night light in a dark room. I do not think it will be suitable for the purposes you have in mind.

OK for bathroom but not in shower stall area! This fixture will make your bathroom like Broadway. There are no bulbs. It is all LED lights smaller than your pinky nail. It is a board populated with about 50 tiny LED lights. It is amazing.

I have not tried it. My guesstimate is that if the ceiling is flat and smooth it could work (light weight items only) worth a try with cautiongood luck

It would work very well. I installed 2 of these in the ceiling of my garage and they provide excellent lighting.

There is no reason that this would not work that I can see. That said I have seen fixtures meant for that duty and they are different. Be aware that these are the absolutely most flimsy fixtures that I have ever seen. They work fine, and I bought cheap and got it. My ceiling is not uniformly flat. The fixtures flexed such that they don't stay closed and I had to tape them shut. Really something else. But they work fine and were cheap.

I've been using mine in my shower since I bought it in April 2013. My shower had no other light source so this has really helped.I did find that it was coming on when I would walk past the shower to the sink but all I had to do was put a little bit of tape over the part of the photosensor that was facing out. After that, it worked just fine, only coming on when I step into the shower. :)

Jessica,I would not use it in any other application other than a ceiling rain shower configuration. The stream of water is too disbursed and not powerful enough to accomplish the same results as a traditional shower head. Additionally, I think it would look out of place as a regular shower head - it is quite large...then again, I'm not sure how large your shower is. Hope this helps...let me know if you need more info. Best of luck!

Yes..depending on ur in wall wiring..I have svrl of this type of light, but always on the ceiling,such as garage, outside patio,etc..These lights will illunimate a large area,if installed on the celing, rafters etc..U may lose some illumination if installed horizontal on the wall..vertical may be ok.. I'm not a pro... just my opinion

On the package it says: "Not suitable for totally enclosed fixtures". The keyword here is "totally". I won't get too worried about using it in my enclosed ceiling lights. As long as the fixture is not air-tight, it should be fine.

I used mine in the kitchen. I would think if you wanted to use them in the shower, I do not see why you could not. The lens and outer trim ring are all one unit. They would be alot more water resistant than the standard shower can trim. If you wanted, apply a small bead of caulking or silicone before you push the light up to the ceiling, as they are LED and will last for a long time.

What Kyle and Mun said, usually ceiling mounted shower heads are larger diameter as well. This is probably not what you want for a ceiling application.

If the ceiling is hollow or dry wall use a couple of toggle bolts or those expanding screws made for that sort of thing. The lamp doesn't weigh much, the toggle bolts may be overkill, but they will make it really secure. Put it up against the ceiling to see if it works for you first. I'm no electrician and I put it in my bathroom and it works fine, but this guy Jerry seems to be some kind of expert and perhaps his advice is worth considering.

Hi, yes we have plenty of light we just feel it does not do the trick with regard to the fan. We have a light in the shower that we never need to use.

I think that would work fine. I have it in my shower and with regular bath lighting it is not see-through.

Maybe, if you used several nails, around the center where the light fixture would normally hold it in place. But it's made from an extremely thin material. Maybe, you could go to thrift store an pick up a cheap ceiling fixture and just use the ceiling cap to hold the medallion in place & paint everything the same color. Hope this helps. I love mine!

Yes, I used it for lighting up my living room, which has no light in the ceiling. It worked. However, the light spot directly toward my eyes because there is no cover in the light.

The light can hang down from the ceiling as low or as high as you would like. There are three extension pieces of different sizes: You can use one or you can use them all. I don't have the exact dimensions of the pieces but I used only a combination of two of them and it worked perfect for us. I hope I answered your question! Good luck.
