1. Does this produce a diffuse light close up (on a wall 2 feet away) or is it a sharp beam? 2. Can you angle the light either left/right or up/down

not a sharp pin point beam, more diffused than that, as far as the angles, you need a swivel mount, as on a tripod, when mounting using the shoe mount. In other words, it comes with stationary mounting hardware.

I used this item all sorts of way's with out any issure's ! This does not produce a diffuse light up close and in my opinon it shows a sharp beam.You can connect several led infr. lites! As far as angles are concerned you can position it at any angle.If this does not suit you there is other products to adjust your needs.I hope this was some what helpful. DAVE S

It is a very wide beam but keep in mind that it's barely brighter than a single 60W incandescent bulb so a single unit is not really enough light to do detail oriented work like painting or flooring. Frankly since this kind of work usually has an AC outlet nearby and is limited range an extension cord can handle, you'd be better off getting 500W halogen light(s) which are much brighter and 1/4th the cost.

Yours is a pretty broad question. What is the application? For up lighting against a white or light colored wall-they are great. For spot lights 15'-20' above a target-they are great. Spot light from the the base of the target-not so much. Additionally, you need to consider if the room is dark, semi-dark and/ or full light and outdoors. If you have a chance please pose similar question, but indicate the type of application. If I can help. I will.

To be honest, I did not look up what I have .. But.. With ARMD I must have light for close up work. Since the top of the stand is flexible, and that makes it perfect. When not doing close up work, it sits next to my LayZBoy, with the bulb twisted away, for indirect light. I only have to move it 3', for each function.One con, it's top heavy, so u have have it constantly aligned to the base; which needs to be tightened once in a while.I'm very satisfied. Bulb size is important.

I am not sure how that exactly works. If you turn the head a little bit, the beam gets dimmed a little bit but not much. I did not even notice that it has two levels. It is not like a dimmer on the wall where you can turn it down to zero. It is still very bright, so if you are looking for a flash light that you can use to "gently" walk through a room where people sleep, this is not the one. Looking in the light will hurt your eyes, even on level two.

Hi, I use the bulb in a lamp with a shade next to the bed for reading. The light does not seem focused in a particular direction -- but widely diffused -- possible influenced by the shade. Nevertheless, combining it with a dimmer switch made it the right ecological choice -- needed the brightness to allow these sixty year old eyes to read well in the evenings .... and dimmed ... as an ambient light when not reading. Hope this helps -- I do like the bulb -- also, it doesn't seem to run as 'hot' as traditional lightbulbs.

This unit is very much designed to be looked at from the front or at least in a foggy environment, it is very bright and does some nice movement. We have used these as up-lights and due to the narrow beam they look good that way in lighting up a piece of truss or a scenic piece. What this unit is not, is a stage wash light, I have tried to use several different diffusion gels but all they will do is dim the output not do a good job to spread the light the way you would need to front wash a stage. Back light, audience / dance floor lighting, up-lighting with a beam are all great uses for this light, as a stage wash fixture I would go with another fixture.

It gives off light from all sides like a lantern and has a hook to hang it from your tent or above a table. It also works well standing on a table top. It has a piece that can slide up to channel the light ahead but it's less directed than a flaccidity would be. It's better for lighting up rooms and tents and picnic tables then a flashlight, and not as good at channeling a focused beam as a flashlight. Hope that helped.

I did not find it narrow beam, I put them high enough on outside wall on my house it quite bright works great. No problem so far.

It is not narrow. 6 feet away the beam cone is about 6 feet in diameter I would estimate. Area lighting not spot

No tight spot beam nor is it focus able. It has a high, low , & emergency (blink). As a person who appreciates a very good skull light this is by far my best purchase. I have one and purchased 2 more as gifts. Very bright light with longevity in vision range.

It's a bit more focused than just a standard light bulb. From the lens part out, it will send light out in all direction but it is more intents at the center. I use it for a replacement light for my Fiber Optic Christmas Tree. Hardly any heat and it looks good. I used it in a Floor lamp and it puts a good colorful spot on the ceiling.. Hop that helps.

Theoretically the reach is virtually infinite since it is a laser. In fact you need to take proper precaution when using it like any laser device because it is a very intense point of light! In use I have not found an application yet around the house when it did not teach the target as a point. In the line mode the length of the line depends on the distance from the wall and the incident angle to the wall as well as the brightness of the room. In a few simple tests I found the laser outperforms the stated specs. In the line mode I found it reached my farthest wall about 35 feet away in a normally bright room lit by indirect sunlight. However at this distance the narrow line does diffuse slightly so the line which is sharp at close range is broader and softer. For safety you would not want any laser device around your home that is more powerful than this level. I hope this answers your question. Dr.J., Princeton, NJ

Check my picture http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B00H1FCUBY/ref=cm_cr_dp_cust_img_see_all_txt. It's a recessed light and not very visible because it points down. Also like the other answer said it is quiet dim. I guess if you were in a low light situation and pointed it at someone they would be bothered bothered by it.

no focused beam...what light there is dims very rapidly...I guarantee that no body spotted a boat a half mile away with this light...I gave this light to my grandchildren to play with...if it was free it would be a bad deal...by the way it stopped working already and it hasn't even been a month.

Facing down. The lights can pivot ~45 degrees each way. I have them in my wall unit and have them pointing toward stone on the wall as an accent.

It produces a good amount of light, but the light is filtered through the crystals, so it's not very intense. I have it as the main light source in a 10x12' room and it works great. Might need to turn on a lamp if I was reading though. Not sure it'd work great in a large room. I do love this light though.
