Can you place any light items on the top of the cover? I love the older 2011 model with the cover meant for placing additional items above it.

Before the spring broke after about 6 months in service, I could put light objects like magazine or anything less than 1/4 LB. The tension in the cover after it is latched was strong enough to support light objects. But with the spring tension gone, the cover could not support anything. The merchant told me the warranty was only for 3 months and the spring broke about 6 months. I was told to take the broken part to auto shop. The reliability is unacceptable because such failure should not occur this soon. Otherwise, the cover worked fine before the failure. Now the cover could not retract and is a nuisance.

This cover cannot hold anything on top of it. It hides what ever is under it. I love mine.

Yes, I would think so. The only thing I was disappointed was the spring has already snapped and it won't go back. We just keep it pulled open all the time.

No, you cannot add a light kit because the entire lower section of the light turns, not just the blades. If you were to mount anything to the bottom cover it would spin with the blades and the wires would break causing a fire or electrical hazard.

I would add extra padding on top and bottom, perhaps bubble wrap. I would assume other things would be stacked on this, assuming it lays flat.

The cover has a small lip so we just put it over the top. We also order it a little larger than our window well so the edges hung over. We didn't use any tools or hardware to attach it.

Yes. There's plenty of space at the TOP of mine after placing the cover, so I think you won't have a problem.

No cover so it's open... be careful that the placement is not too high otherwise you'll end up blinding yourself. The cover can be removed but it's easy to change the light bulbs with the cover still on.

Not sure how to answer the question. The case is not very thick so if you put a lighting to 30 pin adapter it should sit on the ihome fine, I would think. I hope that answer helps

Yeah. I would advise putting a cloth between the two so you don't scratch the top. They won't be very secure also, because they are not intended to be stacked.

Yes you can. We use the front cover and a different back cover and it works fine.

I had an electrician put it up for me. The light bulb goes in before the cover is attached. One is a very small utility nightlight bulb. I think the cover just twists on and off, haven't had to do it myself yet!

There are two slight indentations on the front edge of the cover about three inches in from each side. Press up on these with your thumbs and the cover should lift up. Hope this works.

Hello it actually bothered me too. However I decided to place it on top, since the screen is heavy and is not moving at all at bottom. I am in agreement with other comments if you feel that is going to move the other two at bottom would certainly solve this problem. Hope this helps.

I apologize for the late response but the ideal spot would be middle. The lights a very bright so even if you put them on top it is still doing its job. I have a 55 in pioneer so the only place I could but it was on the top and it looks great. I can possibly send you a pic of what it looks like. Thanks and sorry about the late response good luck.

They must have purchased one with the 'options'. I think some of them had light sensors. I just ordered the usual plug-in, off/on switch, but mine is placed correctly right side up at the bottom of the cover. It is beautiful. I actually ordered 2 of them. Put up the second one for future use, maybe I should check to see it's made correctly!

Not necessarily, I did, however, have to put something in front of the light, because with the brackets it definately seems to be designed to that effect. hope this helps.

Dome lights that don't fit with in the plastic supports tends to burn and melt. I avoided this by making a hang for the light. Should come with a canopy.
