Will two of these be able to illuminate a 10 x 11 room if placed on either side of a 6-foot window?

You will need additional lighting because the wattage just isn't that big. I have them on either side of a 14ft (9 ft of window) x 5ft bump-out that I'm using as a dining area in my apartment, and they provide soft lighting rather than strong illumination. But they DO provide enough light that I don't have to have overhead lights in the area.

Light works great and is quite bright. How wide is going to depend on how high it is mounted. I would think two lights would give you the best result.

I have never tried that, but in my motor home which has double lights, I have found one panel more than adequate. Two panels put out a great deal of light. If enclosed, you might have a heat problem if not properly ventilated.

Alot depends on the size of the existing lamps (PAR38 100w?) and the height at which the fixture will be placed. Since it sounds as though this is for the function of the deck Vs just security I would go with a higher output. Haveing said that I would definetly reccommend LED for energy conservation and they attract "less" bugs. Good Luck

No, it wouldn't be good as the only light source in a large room. I have mine in an average sized bathroom.

Yes, that's exactly what I use it for. You need to be able to position the lights at least about 3-4 feet from your face, otherwise they will overexpose. As long as you have that room (and I managed it in a very small area - they only take up about 2-3 square feet each), it'll work!

I do not think so. They are decent as far as solar lights go, but I would keep them within ten feet of the object to be illuminated.

Yes, in fact that could be a weakness. I have it on the left side of my computer as I am a lefty and it only covers the left side with light unless I turn it on the brightest setting (3 of 3) and then it illuminates the right side. It delivers a cone of light more than an area of light and you can control the cone size by pointing it more at the desk.

I don't think only one of these lamps will give you what you are looking for. We use them for painting classes and need at least 2, one on each side.

These have a descent brightness to them, effective to about 4-6ft. the longer tubes are typically brighter, I would suggest put a mirror behind either fixture to maximize uv effect. If you have the room, I would suggest a 48" tube fixture

ten (10 inches... you might get away with something less....but it no matter the size of your kitchen or wherever you want to hang these, anything less looks skimpy, I would think...unless you have a really really small place you are considering for this light.

You need to put this type of light in the other location also, otherwise the other light will stay on all of the time.

Yes, they can, and what's nice is the top inch will hang out and light up the whole room. (Unless you use your recessed as spot lights then they will not work that way.)

Depending on the height of the ceiling I would space them farther apart. I am currently using 1 to illuminate my 8x20 wood shed.

I found them to be fairly bright lights. So, I think if they were positioned right, you could use 2 easily.

I have found, for my purposes, the two taller units work well enough that I seldom use the short one. As the previous respondent said, you can use it for a back light if you want, or place it anywhere you think you might need extra illumination.

I have 6 of them over a bar that is approximately a 12 x 12 area and they light it well. In fact I have them on a dimmer because 6 x 50 watts is too bright.
