Beam Angle, Mounting Height and Coverage

Beam angle and mounting height can provide a quick footprint estimate, but they do not replace photometric design.

What to record

  • Mounting height or throw distance to the target plane.
  • Nominal beam angle and whether it is full-width half-maximum data.
  • Overlap, aiming, glare, spill, and vertical-plane review requirements.

Calculator output is an estimating aid. Confirm project-specific requirements, products, electrical work, and compliance decisions with the responsible professional.
