What is the spread of beam?

When light leaves a flashlight or luminaire, it spreads and increases with increasing distance. The spread of beam is an industrial term for the amount of light diffusion or the spread of beam. Manufacturers use specific measurements of beam spread, including angles of beam and field, and publish bulletins with these data for comparison. This is measured by drawing an imaginary line from the center of the bulb, which is the center of the light beam. The angle is observed where the light intensity on the outside of the beam dropped to 50 percent of the maximum light. The beam angle will be narrow for the reflector designed to illuminate smaller areas, and will be wider for the headlamp used to illuminate larger areas. Normacid manufacturers have been reduced to 10 percent maximum, check the field angle. This angle is sometimes called angle angle, but the intention is to show the effective lighting area of ​​the bulb design or accessories.

the values ​​of the spread of beam afterThey use angles rather than distances. When designers place lighting accessories in the room, they use lights that provide a specific light intensity, usually measured in lumens. The lights can also be selected for their color temperature, which provides light with a different color in the range from yellow to white to blue. The distance of the luminaires on walls and floors can vary very much, but the designer uses the beam data and the field angle to place the lights for the best coverage.

The Stage Lights used for theater performances has published the ratio of beam distribution, but many of these lights can also be modified manually. Lighting over the stage can have adjustable doors that will block light from selected areas and create light and dark areas for a dramatic effect. Spot lights used to enhance the artist or part of the stage have lenses that can change the beam from narrow to wide, and also change the shape and color of the beam.

lasers have a very close spread of beam as designed because withThe branch beam is aligned or oriented in one direction by using a barrel -shaped or laser tube. The beam range may occur for two reasons, diffraction and diffusion. Diffraction occurs when the light beam is turned to a slightly different angle from the lens passage. Diffusion is a gradual spread of light from dust, humidity and other particles in the air, causing light to reflect very slightly. Laboratory lasers are often operated in very clean rooms and vacuum chambers to eliminate air and dust and minimize diffusion.
