    Maybe they saw it on some H&G show. So they install them upside down to illuminate the upper part of the home.

    I don't want to think of it like the people can't park thread where I'm shitting on people. I think some people don't know and it's not something that really matters. But now that I've noticed it several times, I ALWAYS notice now.

    I figure it's the same people who drive 10 under the speed limit, in the left lane, with their blinker going.

    I am 98% sure those people are just spammers (or spiders) that are collecting emails to turn over to companies that send out spam. I stopped replying to them long ago even though I use a junk email address for all online sales.

    MrPrena, to prove you are a real person and not a scam, I'm going to send you a Google voice verification code. Please tell me the code so I know you are a real person for my safety.

    They probably saw it on an Internet video that was sold as some kind of 'life hack' to make it better that way. "The reflected light from the ceiling better illuminates the entire area."
