The beam angle selection of LED High Bay Lights has a very significant impact on the lighting effect, which is mainly reflected in the lighting coverage, uniformity of light distribution, brightness concentration and energy efficiency. The larger the beam angle, the wider the range of light coverage, which is suitable for places that require uniform lighting of large areas, such as warehouses and large retail stores. In contrast, lamps with smaller beam angles focus on specific areas, making them suitable for areas that require accent lighting, such as workstations and equipment areas. Luminaires with a large beam angle provide a more even light distribution, helping to reduce shadows and dark areas, providing overall visual comfort, while luminaires with a small beam angle are more concentrated and may produce significant light attenuation at the edges of the lighting area. Resulting in uneven light distribution.

Luminaires with a smaller beam angle can provide higher brightness concentration, that is, stronger lighting intensity in a specific area, which is very useful for task areas that require high-brightness lighting, such as production lines or mechanical equipment maintenance areas. Lamps with larger beam angles have a more dispersed brightness distribution and are suitable for general ambient lighting. The choice of beam angle also affects energy efficiency and light utilization. A smaller beam angle can reduce the waste of light, focus on the areas that need lighting, and improve the utilization rate of light energy. Although a larger beam angle covers a wider area, it may illuminate areas that do not need illumination, reducing overall energy efficiency.

Mounting height and spacing are closely related to beam angle. In environments with high ceilings, such as warehouses or factories, a larger beam angle can reduce the number of fixtures required and provide even lighting. For lower ceilings, a smaller beam angle may be more suitable to avoid over-dispersion of light and ensure adequate floor lighting. In practical applications, warehouses usually use lamps with large beam angles (120 degrees or above) to provide broad and uniform lighting, reduce shadows, and ensure worker safety and operational efficiency; production lines use lamps with small beam angles (60 degrees or below). Concentrate lighting on specific work areas to improve work brightness and ensure precise operations; retail stores can mix and use lamps with different beam angles according to specific needs to provide general lighting and highlight specific products.
