Common phrases to express how focussed the light emanating from a fixture are spotlights and floodlights. Many people get perplexed when these phrases are used since there is no established definition for what they signify. A spotlight is often described as a light with a focussed beam that produces more of a "spot" than a "wash" of light. A extremely broad spread of light that washes a wall is referred to as a floodlight. Many individuals believe that the fixture's form dictates which is which. With the usage of lenses, this is not true.
The angles of a lens might be misleading. Just keep in mind that the beam will go further and more narrowly the smaller the angle, which will help you make a decision. For second levels, we advise anything 25° or smaller, and for first floors, anything 45° or bigger. Our most common choice is 45° since it can be used in the most situations.
The perceived brightness of a light might vary depending on the lens angle employed on a fixture. However, depending on the degree of lens used, the lens will either concentrate the same number of lumens, or light, on a very tiny point or a very broad region. Because all of the LED's lumens are concentrated on a relatively tiny area, the more focused the light is, the brighter it will seem. In contrast, the light will seem more dull if a wide angle lens is used since the same quantity of light is spread out over a larger area.
The Haven Home Lighting smart line of lighting can modify the brightness of each light, or group of lights, to make all the lights seem the same brightness regardless of the lens angle being used, to counteract this effect.
