Yes, I mounted several of these upside-down on the wall outside. The mounting bracket is very suited for this. Use the "Flip" switch in the Live Video settings to correct the image.

DL is correct about checking the FLIP box in the Live Video settings. However, you must also check the MIRROR box. Otherwise, the image will be a mirror of what it should be.

For now I have not mounted it. My son in law told me I would have to get a metal pole to mount it on and the metal pole would be mounted on the side of my house facing south. For now, I am bringing it in and out of my house. I have a long nail and I have been hanging it on that with string. It sounds amateurish but that is the best I can do for now until someone helps me mount it.

Hi - Ours is mounted to the wall, but it is articulated enough that I don't see why you couldn't mount it to the ceiling. Here is a photo of ours after I moved it into a position to simulate being mounted to the ceiling. Good luck - we love this shower head! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3YtmDxP1Fi-ODFvbFBNb1NjMWZ3VUQ0bHlUaWdUWU5CV2Y4/edit?usp=sharing

Can you mount this on the porch ceiling. I want it to face downwards and can I mount it with a screw as adhesive and Velcro would not hold up after months in 100 degree heat in AZ. I am willing to drill mounting holes in the unit if there is space but is it possible. Thanks

You should be fine with your outside options. We mounted our screen onto a wood frame (like a picture frame) and then hung it from the ceiling. Hope this helps!

I have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

I mounted both of mine on the wall, but I don't see any problem with putting it on the ceiling. My ceilings are vaulted and high so the hallway walls were the best place.

I wouldn't recommend hanging it upside down. The glass does not sit securely in the base of the light fixture so there is some play in the glass. There is a nut that hold the glass in place but it just doesn't seem that secure to me. Good luck and happy hunting.

I don't know. Mine is installed in the ceiling of my enclosed porch. I also own the wall mounted version and it is mounted outside in the weather. It was mounted last fall and has survived the winter. I have not had any problems with it.

I have mine mounted on the side of my house, under an upper deck. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "overhang". If you meant hanging it horizontally, I'm not sure that would work. If you can make it work vertically, it's a great light. Otherwise, maybe check in to some spotlight styles that have the sensor below and adjustable.

I have not tried to ceiling mount this unit. I don't' see any reason that it couldn't be ceiling mounted. Thelights themselves will swivel somewhat, but I don't know if they will swivel enough for your purposes. Thelight sensor position might be your main problem.

Mine is wall mounted, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't just as easily mount it from the ceiling.

It works over a door very well. We mounted ours on the ceiling portion of the overhang above the front door with the bulbs facing the door. This allows the unit to turn on when we are about five feet from the door. We found this positioning worked best for us.

I hung mine from the ceiling, which was not that difficult. I'm not sure if that would work since the top is not adjustable.

This fan can be mounted to the ceiling. Mine is mounted to the ceiling of my covered patio. Make sure you hit a rafter because the fan is pretty heavy. We love it. It puts out a lot of although it is loud on high but we can handle it.

This looks like a great shade for my modern style house. I am concerned about the view from the bottom as I want to put this on a very high ceiling and no information provided covers this detail. Is it bare (to the bulb/fixture) or is there some sort of diffuser? If so, is it nice? As to fixture hardware to you suggest the recommended pairing off the website? It looks like the max drop would be 3" for base, 15" for rod, 10" for shade = 28 off the ceiling.

I drilled into the joists in the ceiling. It was a little tricky finding them...I had to get up into the attic. I finally straightened a hanger and poked it through one of the holes I made so I could orient myself to exactly where i was whether in the kitchen looking up or in the attic looking down. I was surprised to discover they were running the opposite direction than I thought. (By the way, a stud finder didn't work in my ceiling.) But once I drilled into the joists and installed sturdy hooks, it was no problem. It has been hanging securely for months.
