Kenroy Home 20506ORB Spot, Oil Rubbed Bronze Product And Product Reviews

This review is from: Kenroy Home 20506ORB Spot, Oil Rubbed Bronze (Tools & Hardware)

This is a little ball (maybe 4″ or so in diameter) with one side open and a ceramic socket for a medium based bulb in the opening. There is a “baffle” (stair step looking thing) around the opening like you would see on most can lights, the purpose of which I believe is to reduce glare. The ball is separate from the base, connected only with the power cord that runs from the ball through the base.

The base is a bent sheet of light gauge metal (steel I assume) with a hole cut in it. The hole has a rubber insert to separate the metal of the base from the metal of the ball.

Aiming the light is achieved by turning the ball however you want, freely, in the hole. The only limitation is the cord between ball and base. I’m pretty sure any combination is achievable so it should work for any spot you need to shine on any other spot.

It’s all feels very solid and well constructed. Looks very nice and wouldn’t seem out of place in most settings.

If you look at the brushed stainless one there the picture shows it with a bulb. A medium based incandescent light bulb sticks out so that end of the bulb is about flush with the edge of the opening in the ball. If using a medium based ccfl the tip of that sticks out beyond the ball. This results in a very wide “spot light” that is pretty much 180 degrees.

For my purposes it is way too wide of a light pattern and not what I was expecting at all. Other than the fact that it’s not a “spot” in my terms, it’s a pretty cool little light. I’m planning on keeping it and trying to work it in somewhere because it’s pretty slick.
