At what installation height would it give off the maximum good light coverage? What's the recommended height installation?

I have mine mounted at approximately 15ft and the light output/spread is very good.

I have two lights installed at 14' high. They really light up a 30' x 40'area and use very little energy. These can be adjusted and pointed to cover the desired area. I would definitely buy this light again.

I mounted mine directly to existing mount for light below eves of home to illuminate backyard. No real mounting height recomendations came with. I'd sy no higher than 20'feet. If go that high you will be amazed of how large an area you will illuminate.

Depending on how high you mount the light above the aquarium and how intense you want the light to be can determine how much coverage you need. If you aren't growing corals that need a ton of light, 1 light would do probably mounted 10 to 12 inches above the aquarium I would guess.

I have mine in a closet covering about a 3ft by 3ft area, almost 6ft from the floor. I'm sure it could be raised to cover more area with light in a bigger room like a 5ft by 5ft area in a basement or garage. It's a good product I have to say for the price and everything included plus I've had no issues so far. I'm looking forward to the end of December!!

24-36" because you want the LEDs to span the length of the tank. You'll have darker spots on the end with the 18-24" light.

The general rule of thumb is 12 to 18 inches, the best thing to do is hold your hand under the light to judge the distance, if it's too hot for your hand it's too hot for the top of your plants. It also depends on how many plants you are trying to cover with the light, keeping the light 12 inches above the plants allows the light to spread out into a wider footprint over your plants while keeping a good intensity on them.

To give good light I would suggest 4-6 feet apart depends on part if you are using 7 or 11 watt bulbs.

I'd get the 16in light. The feet that rest on the rim extend to the edge of the fixture and you'll want even coverage of the entire tank.

I want to say 40-50ft with decent bright light depending on how high you mount it.

It will depend on how you adjust the lights. We installed it above a garage door. It lights an area of about 30Ft x 40Ft quite brightly. I believe if we tilted the lights more straight out it would illuminate an even larger area, if it was needed. Hope that helps.

Should work okay but, seems like there's a 10 foot max distance for illumination. Suggest you use two if it's an outside corner to cover both sides, but one may be enough for inside corner. Haven't yet determined if I should use more than one at front door with 2 inside corners. That and how to fasten it to bricks.

Max illumination is 12-18" radius. More decorative lighting than functional.

The light will spread 2ft to 3 ft on either side of the bulb and about a foot in front and back so in total you will have a 3ft ×5ft coverage area. Roughly 15 sqft

you're asking whether the field of illumination covers a broad enough area? Sure. Or whether the lamp is tall enough to go over the fixture? Just barely high enough for your purposes, I suspect.

When it's working right it'll cover that much distance, maybe not excessively brightly, but it'll cover it. But the question is if it'll work. Ours worked great for a couple weeks then the on/off button broke in the "on" position so we got a light show every night whether we wanted it or not.

It would work well at that height for a small area and be very bright directly underneath. The higher you mount the more the light will spread. I think 14 ft is optimum. Mine are mounted at 15ft and spaced about 10ft apart. Very uniform light configured like that.

I don't know how high the light will go. I just have them turned on some shrubs.

This is more than adequate light but pay attention to the height....I presume you want overhead light and this IS a wonderful lamp but not tall--more for reading in a chair!!!
