Can The Hue Bloom or the Hue Go work to simply light a wall of paintings? Would it need to sit on the floor, or can it be mounted to a shelf to aim downward on the paintings? null

Question

The Bloom is brighter with a more focused beam of light. The Go is more of a diffused light, think of it as providing light, not spotlighting it. The Bloom is designed to sit on a flat surface with the angle up. Sitting on the floor would not allow it to shine high up unless it were way back and as you go farther back, the light will be dimmer where it reaches the wall. To aim downward would be tough as far as I can tell. The Bloom sits flat on a angle cut round base about the thickness of two fingers. There is no mounting point on it to mount it upside down and it has some weight to it so any tape would not work.

It's really designed to point upwards. Maybe if you put the light at the bottom of the shelf and have it light up you could get it to work.

Personally, I don't think Hue bulbs lend themselves to that kind of task. They're better used as accent lights to fill spaces on walls and such that don't get enough coverage from your other bulbs

I think it might be hard to mount. The outer cover is a smooth plastic and there is really no area to hang it from.

That's not what this lighting is for. I would say no!
