Do I correctly understand that these lights are designed to shine across a 180 degree arc? In other words, not particularily aimable.

You can aim them a little bit. i used them in a glass cabinet. The main thing I gained when aiming is that they don't shine out the front of the cabinet into your eye so much. I would say they are more like a 120 degree arc.

u can see fine but one side seems not to have beam kinda spread out.. If want better lighting would not get these.. and adjustment is hard to get right.. screw strips out of plastic... I love the look.. maybe with briter bulb would be better.

I have noticed the beam is narrow and tall when these lights are mounted in the normal way. These lights are very bright when looking at them head on, but if you move to the left/right by 10-20 degrees, the light output is much less. So if you mount them vertically, then their beam will be wide and short.

I have no exact way to measure the beam width of these lights but I would have to say that they are certainly closer to 30 degrees than to eight. Also, I would say that these do not fit what I would normally call a spot light. Usually this means a light that puts out only a bright spot with little or no surrounding flare. These lights do have some hot spot but they also have a good deal of width. Even when properly aimed on the road they will still illuminate not just the road but also the surrounding area as well as overhead trees etc. Probably their best feature is the intense whiteness of the light.

The lights have a high n low feature. The most doesn't but it doesn't emit a lot so it shouldn't be overwhelming.

the light will rotate 180 degrees in horizontal and 180 degrees in vertical it is almost unlimited

Honestly the lights are super bright so that wouldn't be the issue. However they are really small. Vanity lights are typically larger and are down lights. This is better for pointing in different directions.

Yes. You can rotate the light up and down- so it points farther in the distance or closer to your feet. It stays where you point it very wellReese is incorrect.

They point pretty directly at something and not a broad spectrum of light. I put one on my ceiling, which comes down at an angle, over a small Christmas tree, with ornaments and no lights which was sitting on top of a toy chest. It was not enough light for it and had to lay 2 more on the toy chest under the tree and that helped. I'd say NO to your question. The one I put on the ceiling left a hole which had to be patched when removed. If you're putting light directly over one item, then they might work for you. They are very directional.

The ones we got can be directed. They tip back and forth in one axis only, so you can turn the fixture to point them exactly where you want them to shine. We like them alot!

each light has a two way swivel that works separately so that the lights swivel up,down,left,right,in,out and back and forth.they prettymuch can aim wherever you want. i am happy with my purchase. they do turn off if they catch its own reflected light, so be careful of nearby metal doors etc.

the lights are not super bright, they are a pleasant bluish color and everything is easily visible. The sensor can detect right under it, it sometimes takes a couple of seconds to come on but I'm happy with the way it senses and have not tried to make it better. I don't know if you can rotate the sensor down and point backwards, I have it above my garage and there is wall behind it. Hope this helps........

Be aware... that these bulbs look nice when looking sideways, its beauty does not appears in top view. Consider that in your project.

The lights do not pivot up or down but can be inserted into the ground at an angle to point down rather than horizontally. I use them to illuminate a step on my patio and they work quite well.

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

The answer is ABSOLUTELY! These are LED lights and give off a tremendous amount of light. We also have one between the mirrors and it is overkill. We love the design and foremost the light we get from these lights.

The ones I received work great and are 360 degree. I put in 2 of these out doors in a harsh environment. They have worked great every night for 6 months on a photo cell/ timer. They put off a nice light comparable to 60W "light bulb". I hope they last 5 years, but I would try to buy them again even if they lasted only a year.
