Can the bulb work wnen the tip is pointing up?

The answer is yes. I had it inserted into my outside lamp and it worked (when it wanted to). I liked it at first because it seemed to do what it stated it would do, but after a while, it came on when it wanted to and shut off when it wanted to. I personally don't recommend this bulb.

Yes. The wires need to be bent back against the sides of the bulb so they make contact with the bulb holder pieces.

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.

You'll need an extremely small screwdriver. It is a very small screw that holds the tip on. I hope it helps.

The original question has been adequately answered, but I have a further observation. It is a nice lamp, but the base is small, and the lamp is inclined to tip when being switched on and off. I glued the lamp to a round piece of stained and varnished plywood (5" or 6" diameter) with thin felt glued on the bottom. It works.

Mine is pointed, just as it appears in the picture. Very solid, have not actually put it to the "test", but I am satisfied with it. I would contact the manufacturer, sounds like a defect to me.

Yes. The base of the flashlight is flat and will stand up on a flat surface with the light pointing up.

Did you try putting the bulb in the other way? The bulbs are + and - and only work one way. If it doesnt work one way, then flip it around the other way.I hope this helps.

Not really, never had problems with the little bulb, maybe that one is defective or the formula your using is causing it

you should open up the location where you plan on using it to determine if it is the same style of bulb. Meaning if it has the same prongs. If so, then it will, but make sure the measurements are accurate.

No it can't. I was upset about the fact that it can't really be adjusted much. The direction it faces is based on the position it stops at when you screw it into the light socket. I was never able to get mine to work so I wasted $25 and it was brand new. Hope this helps.

Brooke-Good question. After I received this bulb I wanted to send it back because it worked poorly but had no responce. If you figure it out could you let me know?

Probably,First remove the bulb from the socket. Then get an old copper penny and...On second thought perhaps you should utilize Amazon's stellar customer service and exchange the defective item for another.

Honestly I have no clue if it would work, neither one of the bulbs worked on mine even though it said they would. I tried to do some minor mods to them like other people said but nothing worked for me.

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.

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.

They have changed this bulb and the sensor no longer rotates. So, it is possible if you screw it in, it may face the back of the fixture. Not good.
