How to choose the correct beam angle for your lighting system
The beam angle of a lighting system refers to the angle at which the light is distributed from the source. It is an important consideration when choosing a lighting system because it determines how wide or narrow the light spreads. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the correct beam angle for your lighting system:
1. Lighting purpose: Different beam angles are suitable for different purposes. For example, a narrow beam angle is suitable for lighting or highlighting a specific area, while a wide beam angle is suitable for general lighting or illuminating a large area.
2. Size and layout of the space: The size and layout of the space where the lighting system will be used should also be considered when choosing a beam angle. For example, a narrow beam angle may be more suitable for a small space, while a wide beam angle may be more suitable for a larger space.
3. Ceiling height – The height of the ceiling in the space where the lighting system will be used can also affect the beam angle. For example, if the ceiling is high, a wide beam angle may be more suitable to ensure light reaches all areas of the space.
4. Type of fixture – The type of fixture you choose can also determine the angle of the beam. For example, some fixtures are designed to have a specific beam angle, while others may be adjustable.
In general, it is best to choose a beam angle that is appropriate for the lighting purpose and the size and layout of the space. You may want to consider consulting with a lighting specialist or interior designer to determine the best beam angle for your specific needs.
