what happens if I down mount and up mount only light fixture?

I have a light that won’t fit if I use the existing bracket. Is it bad to mount the fixture downwards instead?

If you mount it outside then the fixture may no longer be rain proof; it depends on the design. Interior applications should make no difference; I have had to do that for a wall sconce on an interior staircase and the larger bulbs no longer fit properly into the fixture, so I changed to a smaller lower watt bulb.
