What is Beam Spread

Beam spread is the dispersion or diffusion of light emitted from a flashlight or light fixture. It is a measurement of the angle at which the light beam spreads out from the center, determining the coverage area and intensity of the light. The beam angle is a specific value that indicates the angle of beam spread from the center of the beam. It is measured by drawing an imaginary line from the center of the light source to the point where the light intensity at the outer edges of the beam drops to 50 percent of the maximum. A narrow beam angle is characteristic of a spotlight, providing focused and concentrated illumination for smaller areas. In contrast, a wider beam angle is typical of a floodlight, dispersing light over a larger area.

Additionally, the field angle is a measurement of the angle from the centerline of the beam to a point where the light intensity is significantly reduced, usually around 10 percent of the maximum. This angle, also known as the cut-off angle, indicates the effective lighting area of a light bulb or fixture design.

Beam spread values are typically expressed in terms of angles rather than distances. Lighting designers utilize these angles to determine the placement of fixtures in a space, considering factors such as desired light intensity and color temperature. By analyzing the beam and field angle data, designers can achieve optimal coverage and distribution of light in a given area.

常見問題

Why Does a Light Beam Spread

As the light beam moves away from the surface it is directed at or when the beam width is increased, it naturally spreads out and its intensity decreases. This phenomenon can be observed when using a torch and adjusting its distance from a wall, as the spread and intensity of the light will vary accordingly.

What Is Beam Spread Measured In

The measurement of beam spread refers to the diameter of the light projected onto the subject. To put it simply, if you were to shine a flashlight on a wall, the width of the illuminated circle would represent the beam spread. This measurement is typically expressed in feet. In the context of this discussion, we define beam spread as the area that receives 50% of the light power.

What Is the Beam Spread of a Flood Light

Flood lights typically have a beam spread ranging from over 45 degrees to approximately 120 degrees. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that certain lights advertised as floods may have a narrower beam angle of around 25 degrees. If you specifically require a light with such a narrow beam, it may be more suitable to consider spotlights instead.

What Beam Spread for Ceiling Height

Overlapping beam angles are important to ensure that the entire space is adequately illuminated, reducing the risk of accidents. For ceilings with a standard height of approximately 7.9 to 8.9 feet, a wider beam angle of 60 degrees or more is suitable. However, if your ceiling height exceeds 8.9 feet, a narrower beam angle of 45 degrees or less will be necessary.

What Happens When the Light Is More Spread Out

Light spreads out in a similar manner to how butter spreads from a gun. In other words, as light moves away from a point source, its intensity decreases due to its increased dispersion (similar to the decreased thickness of butter).
