Beam angle controls how quickly light spreads as it travels. The correct choice depends on distance, target size, spacing, desired contrast and the number of fixtures.
15° — tight accent
Use for focused highlights, tall ceilings, objects, columns and dramatic contrast. It creates a smaller, more intense pool of light.
24° — controlled focus
A practical accent beam for retail displays, artwork, dining tables and feature surfaces where definition is important without being extremely narrow.
36° — versatile architectural beam
Suitable for many residential, hospitality and commercial applications. It balances spread, intensity and spacing flexibility.
55° — broad distribution
Useful when a softer, wider pool is required or ceiling height is lower. It can reduce scalloping but will usually have lower centre intensity.
Do a real mock-up
Finish colours, wall reflectance, furniture and ceiling height change the result. For important projects, test the actual fixture and optic before finalising quantities.
