A narrow beam isolates a gate, a trunk, a sign or a step, without lighting the neighbours. In between, a medium beam covers an entrance or a terrace.

An access, a shelter or a small terrace are fine with a modest model. A courtyard, a parking area or a high facade need more. Compare the spec sheets rather than the watts alone, because two floodlights of the same wattage do not light the same surface depending on their angle. To choose, start from the surface to light and the mounting distance: the more they increase, the higher the wattage step to plan for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReading a spec sheet without mistakes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross-check three lines: the stated wattage, the beam angle, the IP rating. An inconsistent sheet, for example a very low flux shown next to a high wattage, means a data entry error: in that case, keep the wattage and ignore the flux.

Fixed high and angled, it carries far but dazzles more; fixed low, it lights close and strong.
