I want to paint and glue to shower ceiling to conceal lights. Will they survive?

They come with strips to self-stick, but I am sure extra glue would help. They are not flexible however and will only fit on corners.

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.

Yes they will adhere to the ceiling fine. When the heat is turned on they have a tendency to fall of the wall. Not all of them but a few will come off of the wall because of the adhesive. Be sure to purchase an extra bag of adhesive strips. They have been on my wall for 2 years and I have never had to replace more than 5-6 a year. The glow in the dark is beautiful. Just be sure to put them on the right side during installation.

Spray generally won't work (it will eat the Styrofoam), a good latex paint with either a brush or roller works real easy. If you have a large area you could set up a sprayer with latex paint, that would be fine. We did the open ceiling area on the ceiling with a brush, and the edges of the ceiling we did on a bench and installed them after the paint was dry. Good luck!

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.

No. I don't think they would work, because the style of them is so that the pressure from itself holds the item, and it would not work turned up to the ceiling.

Although I haven't tried it, I think they'd probably stand up just fine to heavy moisture, though not sure what direct water would do. They'll stick to tile with no problem and provide useful light. You will have to stock up on triple-A batteries, though.

I agree with David A. Senechal. Your best bet is to use drywall tape, assuming your ceiling is of drywall construction.

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.

I think it would depend on location and surface... I actually bought them to hang Christmas lights on the porch, and they held for a little over a month, but then just started filling off. Don't know if it was because of freezing temps, or not a completely smooth surface - or a combination of both...

Yes, but the wire connectors for the light will remain exposed since no platr to conceal the cavity is included.

As long as you don't leave it on for a long time. I have mine under my kitchen cabinets. I use them as accent lights and have had them on for about 4 hours at a time about 10 times and they are still going strong. They create a beautiful effect.

I see no reason these won't stick on a ceiling as long as the surface is smooth. But forget about ever removing them gracefully.

Yes! The putty comes right off and all in one piece. I have not noticed any ceiling paint damage personally, as long as you don't use too much putty, you should be fine!

No, you can keep those on there and still get a ton of light spray! Removing them will prob give you a bit more, but work perfect with cover on them.

It depends how low they are hanging, but in general I would say no...you're better off having some stronger lighting.

I have not experienced any issues with these. I have them in the home and outside. Enclosed bathroom ceiling lamps and similar have been fine.
