Do these lights point downward to light up the floor, or do they light up the room itself like the old fashioned 4 watt and 7 watt nightlights?

The light does not point toward the floor just out into the room. The sensor on the front is very senstive to light change in the room.

Up or down - gives a stronger light that the old ones - tend to be better in lighting the room a bit, not just the area around the light.

They don't point down but give off great light. I have at least 6 of them. Theyregreat.

The light emits straight out into the room and has a very good spread of light.

They do - as two LEDs on the sides of the light. Looks really nice and clean at night.

Down lights are created to be used usually in recessed ceiling cans so the light is more focused downwards. The original bulbs are better when used in lamps and places where you want to disperse light out to the sides and top. I'd also advise you to look into Philips hue which offers both options also but they have been much more responsive to software updates such as sunset/sunrise timers and 3rd party integrations. Although lifx bulbs are a bit brighter.

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

Yes they are. They have knobs that hold the light in a fixed position. Loosening the knob allows you to rotate the light in a vertical direction. During initial setup you have the choice of mounting your light in a horizontal or vertical configuration. I did mine one of each. That was not clear to me when I bought them and it is a nice benefit.

It depend on the theme of your room. I have mine in the bathroom and they are very nice. I also have LED bulbs in them and they work great.

They lay horizontal, along the ceiling. Depending on the LED bulb, you may indeed run into issues with light not spreading evenly.

the lights are not super bright, they are a pleasant bluish color and everything is easily visible. The sensor can detect right under it, it sometimes takes a couple of seconds to come on but I'm happy with the way it senses and have not tried to make it better. I don't know if you can rotate the sensor down and point backwards, I have it above my garage and there is wall behind it. Hope this helps........

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.

I don't know. They are not very bright. I use it as a night light in a hall fixture.

It's not super low. In a dar room it's still plenty of light to see. But the low light level is around half the brightness of the high. If I compared it to my hue lighting system that goes from dark 0% to a light glow 10% to super bright 100% I'd say these lights cover the range at about 40% to 100% on a brightness scale.

I agree with the previous answer, the light is minimal. If you had them on either side of you path and spaced pretty close, probably every foot or two you might have enough light. Cool idea, but no sure if these are the right choice.

Don't know. I have mine in my closet. and on wall in bathroom, incase the power goes off. In reality, they are not that bright.

I think so, we did 4 of these all at same time and the lights are all we need for a small bedroom. NOT a night-light low wattage lamp - a regular ceiling fixture brightness

Yes, they, are bright enough to light up a pathway, but because they are low profile you will need a light above to light up an entry door where

Yes, they are equivalent to the brightness of a night light is not just a bit dimmer. They are more for effect than a light source.

Depending on how you plan on setting them up, on house facing down, underneath, shining from side? I used them for accent lighting, casting on my brick on my house mounted in the fascia. But, they do put out a fair amount of light.
