QuestionCould these be placed on a ceiling to mimic recess or track lighting in a rental?
Asked 5 years ago by Renter.
- Answer You could, but I probably wouldn’t for two reasons- 1) they are not cordless so you would have cables hanging down. 2) If not using the little stands, you would have to use the included 3M stickies which I am unsure would stick to drywall, and if so may take the paint with it when you remove them.

QuestionCan these be used for uplighting corners of a room? Also, can you control the color to just stay on a warm color?
Asked 5 years ago by Uplighting.
- Answer Yes they can and yes you can set to whatever color you want. The only limitation will be the power cord, the come with one plug for both lights and the rods are not that long. You may have to find an extra plug depending on how far apart you're going, which I'm not sure if you buy or not. You may want to consider the floor lights or Philips - Hue Bloom Table Lamp or the Go Table lamp for your purpose.

QuestionOur tv isn't flush against the wall, we have it in the corner of our living room. Will these have the same effect not bring right up against the wall? All of the pictures show them very close to the wall they are projecting on.
Asked 5 years ago by Andy.
- Answer They need to be relatively close to the wall for the effect to work. I think a foot and a half away would be the absolute furthest you could go and even that might be a bit underwhelming. They are also quite bright so you don't want them somewhere where you can look directly at them.

QuestionCan I use this with a 3 monitor setup? just put in between them instead of one screen.
Asked 6 years ago by TeckFire.
- Answer The set up with these is fairly flexible. You could use the stands to just put two of them on your desk--or just mount them to either each outside monitor or two to one. Or you could also buy the third one to have one on each monitor.
