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.

I bought this to use instead of a floor lamp because I just think floor laps look awkward and top heavy. I wanted this to go behind my couch that I have angled in a corner. I didn't read the dimensions, but this is MUCH SMALLER than it looks in the picture. I ended up using it on a sofa table to accent some framed pictures that I have. It also gets VERY HOT so I am afraid to leave it on long. I only flip it on when I have company. I was very happy with the price, this was the least expensive that I could find it but not sure it is still worth it. As an accent light, very nice. As a light for lighting a room not so good.

While the power cable does make it harder to position the light, I was able to get them all positioned for my needs. I have a living room with a vaulted ceiling that I wanted to bounce the lights off of. I'd purchased 4 of these and have them sitting on top of bookcases. For me this has been an ideal solution.

Honest reviews on Kenroy Home 20506COP Spot, Copper

Maybe I was trying to get too creative with the lighting in my room... and after viewing several photos not only on Amazon, I felt deceived regarding the actual size of the spotlight. These are not really effective for true lighting... but more add ambiance to a room. I had intended to use two of these to light up my room, but for the light to actually be bright enough, the bulb sticks so far out, it takes away from the modern look I was trying to achieve. They are about the size of a grapefruit to give you some perspective. I will use them.. just as I said to add ambiance to a dinner party or get together at my place... nothing more..

And that being said I continue my quest for the perfect light for my room...

The lighting was great and effective. The product is strong and is well made. It does not have a suggested wattage for the light, which was unfortunate bu we figured it out. Low wattage=better results. Overall though, very satisfied.
