What is the angle of illumination? If I plug it in a socket close to the floor, will it illuminate somewhat above it?

It works well for the area almost a 180 degree coverage around the bulb and not around or behind the body of the light source.

General soft defused light, downward angle. I use the lower socket, with the unit upside down. Works fine to light the hallway.floor

I have plugged the light into a socket that is approximately 12 inches from the floor. The illumination covers from the floor to approximately the 12 inches.

The angle reflected from these bulbs are straight on, guess that's may reflect in a 4-45 degree angle....They are very bright...IMO! Hope this helps.

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

Point lite parallel to the floor. Turn on lite, should come on full bright.

The brightness of the light is not adjustable. But the angle of the lamp can be adjusted to direct where the light points.

I would say it's not 360. Think of the bulb as an eraser tip. The sheath structure in the base is opaque, so the light is somewhat more like a spotlight. Did not bother me in my application, but if you wanted a straight up ceiling-mounted bulb that would reflect off the ceiling, this is not the one.

I use it for a corner of my desk that the overhead light does not light up. This light is actually pretty bright. I am totally satisfied with it. I have the light about 10 inches above the base. Lights up a pretty decent amount of desk space.

Not quite omni directional. If you look at the mfg website, http://www.g7power.com/A19-LED-Light-Bulb-870-Lumen-9.5-Watt.html, the beam angle is > 240. It's a decent bulb, just too tall & heavy for my needs. The cheapest I've ever seen it was $9.95.

It will not light it as bright as a low-voltage light, but will put light onto it. I use two of these to light a water fountain that is approx 4 ft high. I have two so light is angled from two sides. It is not brightly lit, but does show off the fountain.

It's not meant to illuminate a room by itself, if that helps to answer your question. Obviously, the higher the lumens/watts. the brighter it will be. Hope that helps?

I just have the squiggle kind in there, probably the one that is equivalent to 100 w. Maybe on the bottom it says what it can take but frankly, the base is too heavy to easily turn over to see. I got it before the LED ones were really widespread. It does not illuminate a wide area; I have it over a table where I have a small sculpture, and it's great for that. If you want a room illuminating light, look for the LeKlint pendant lamps.

I have mine in a regular floor lamp. A sconce would look nice too. I'm actually going to buy a few more to put in my recessed lighting.

I have this bulb in a floor lamp, so my experience is quite different. I'm writing under it now and can see that the light leaves the bulb 360 degrees from the bulb face. What will effect your light pattern is the length of the bulb, if replacing a R30 bulb you might want bulb extenders.

When the lamp is at a right angle (ie parallel to the floor) - approx 41" above the floor. The lamp can be adjusted (at an angle) another 12" up or down.

You need to hold light horizontally and screw in head to turn on light and at every angle it will be on high. To go to medium brightness just angle light about 45 degrees and for low point straight down.

I have the lamp on one end of a work table that is 4 feet long and 16 inched deep. At full bright, the lamp illuminates the entire surface, but is brighter at or near the lamp. If it were elevated above the surface in the middle back of your desk, it should provide decent work light on most of the surface. This is LED light, not incandesant, so at the same brightness it has a softer bluish appearance. I hope this helps your decision.

LEDs is a directional light, with that being said it depends how you install the lights. if you point it down towards the floor, it will only shine the floor. point it horizontal the light direction will be the same way. unlike a light bulb where there is a 360 illuminated. I personally have 15% tint windows, so you can't really tell from the outside. good luck with purchase
