Spotlight beam angles
Choosing the correct spot or flood lamp can make all the difference when furnishing your room with light or highlighting treasured objects. Use our unique spot and flood lamp selector to see the difference this can make.
Simply click and drag the slider to see the effect of choosing different beam angles and to see the approximate spread of your chosen lamp. The spread shown is at a distance of 3m from the lamp, representing a typical throw from a ceiling-mounted lamp on to a perpendicular floor or wall.
Please note that each lamp type is generally only available in a small range of beam angles and that descriptions such as “wide flood” also vary by manufacturer.
The most popular general purpose wide flood beam angle is either 38° or 36°. This is shown as 38° here.
