Is this bulb omni-directional?

I use it in my home office in in a ceiling light fixture and it fills the 100 sq/ft with light. If you look at the bulb closely you can see that the light is concentrated at the "large" end so shining down is what it does best. (also it is as bright as the 100 watt CFL it replaced)

yes and puts out light looking like a flourencent tube...wouldn't get another one with this coloring

It is to some extent. The light is nice and bright, yet it shines from the glass-like cover (dome) more than in another direction. We had it in a base down reading lamp and replaced it with another bulb that lighted more in a downward direction. I, now, am enjoying it in another lamp where light is needed, but not where we read. In a base up configuration, it will light nicely. It is the best 75W equivalent bulb I have found, though. The 60W equivalent SunSun has better omnidirectionality, yet is not quite as bright.

I would have to say yes. The glass portion is roughly 50% of the unit but it radiates very well. I have them installed in 6 recessed fixtures in bathrooms and 4 floor lamps and they are extremely efficient and bright and I do mean bright. One of the brightest, whitest lamps I've ever encountered in a consumer lamp. Love them.

Yes, you can change the direction of each individual light. They are very nice and bright.

I have used this bulb in such a fixture for about six months with no problems. The bulb is effectively omnidirectional in that application. Light is emitted from a full half sphere at the top of the bulb (the end away from the base). I also use one of these in a desk lamp with a white shade. Even though the bottom half of the bulb is metal, the result is about the same as a ordinary light bulb.

Yes. Each light is independent and can be positioned in different directions.

Vertical placement seems to work best, but if horizontal, aim the sensor end of the bulb toward where outside visitors approach from, is my guess.

It swivels inany direction after the socket is screwed in. You can point it anywhere you need it.

Yes, the glass is semi-circular and sits flush against the raised mounting plate. The bulb is not visible from the sides, only from above or below.

You should definitely not be looking straight into the bulb when using it. OTOH it's set up so it will only work facing down on horizontal surfaces. If you try to turn it sideways, it will turn itself off. But if you want to be absolutely safe, protective glasses are available.

Yes. We installed our lights facing down. They look great. We were also able to find some smaller 40 watt size bulbs without the bulb imprint marking showing on the bottom of the bulb.

The blacklight tube will probably put out more light in general, but this Sunlite bulb you can put it in a directional lamp holder like I did, to only have the blacklight pointing in only one direction.

Unfortunately, it does not flick from left to right or right to left. It is an advisory lightbar, not a directional lightbar. It is a major downside, but you get what you pay for... Very bright presentation though! Hope this helps you!

No, it is NOT directional. You can put it on any way and it will look the same.

Yes, you can mount it that way , you can get it to point in any direction. I really like this light alot.

No it has to be mounted Horizontally and you have to have Three feet clearance on one side to be able to pull the bulb out to change it.

When I installed this in my polarized stern light socket (two contacts in the baseplate, on opposite sides) it only worked in one orientation, which leads me to believe that like all LED bulbs, it is polarized, but the side pins only hold it in the socket, they are not the electrical connection. IMHO

Yes this is a dual filament type bulb. Please check your factory size to make sure if this is correct.

The bulb is bright, though the light is mostly directional from the bulbs tip. Depending on your light fixture (lamp, ceiling fixture, ect.) this bulb may or may not be what you want. If your fixture orients the lamp on its side it may not be as bright for you, or in most table lamps the light gets shined up, if your lamp points the bulb down at what you are working on it will be more than bright enough.
