Does the angle of the beam effect the distance the light is thrown? Is a 60 degree light better than a 40 degree light? if so, why?

It's hard to say whether it's better. The light of 60 degree is more wide than 40 degree , and 40 degree has more spot effect.

Because its wide angle, it does pretty good in normal inside room lighting. It is about 160º wide angle I think. About equal to a 22mm. Hope this helps.

Doesn't specify the angle but it is a spotlight... I'm using them indoors tho, others are saying it is a flood light outdoors :/

It is 45 degree angle, so no it will not diffuse the light more than 22.5 degrees either side,

yes sir, but if you turn 180 degrees theres no problem with the light pattern .. if is 90 degree mount do not buy it!

Not too bad if you aim it just a few feet in front of you. But that means you can't go too fast and the beam is pretty narrow. I found it's not much brighter than some 1 watt lights I have had. I replaced it with a Cygolite Metro 360. It's about $20 dollars more but it's a far, far, better light with a much wider and brighter beam, good for safely going about 18mph. Best light I have ever had. I would highly recommend it as a reasonably cost effective alternative. (There is also a Cygolight Metro 400 which is only a couple dollars more than the 360) I believe the top of the mount of the blaze will swivel if you loosen a screw but I'm not positive of that.

I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for as my experience with these LED par 38s is that they tend to be between a spot light and a flood light. So the angle of the light dispersion is not as wide as a typical flood light, but not quite as narrow as a spot. If you absolutely must have a wide flood, I don't believe you will be satisfied with these. Buy one and try it out first? Hope this is helpful.

Yes, when light is angled down, light is pretty much centralized. The more it is angled up, the more area it will light.

The ones I received have a beam angle of 30 degrees. The beam angle is plainly marked on the box, however, the part number listed by Amazon does not include the beam angle. If you check on the CB Concepts website, you'll see that the beam angle is actually part of the bulb part number. "Assuming" that all the bulbs being sold by Amazon under the "12XMR1612V20W" stock number are identical, you'll get a 30 degree beam angle when you order. Hope this isn't too confusing; good luck.

Not sure on the angle and doesn't seem to brighten very far out. Unless you are going to use multiple pairs with different focal points I'd stick with high wattage halogen or a full led bar.

I'm assuming your referring to beam focus or dispersion. I don't have exact degree but this is more of a narrow focus beam. Probably no more than 20 degrees.

The lights pivot on the mount. At one extreme the angle between the light and the mounting bolt is about 80 degrees. I have mine set at 90 degrees. Don't know for sure that the angle on the other extreme is, but it looks to be about 180 degrees give or take, which would more or less put the mounting bolt parallel to the ground.

As far as I'm aware these are 30 degree spot lights, not the more focused beam.

The light field is 2 and a half inches by 4 and a half inches. I believe it could be effective if the angle of the light field was positioned correctly. Although, as I stated in my review of this product, you are not able to adjust the angle or direction of the light. The back of the fixture has a small stand like that of a picture frame. It is not adjustable. The price of a product like this should be about twenty dollars, not upwards of seventy.

I'm not sure. I use the brackets I feel the extra hight gives better light dispersion.

Sorry for the delay. I had to find an incandescent bulb. I converted my house to CFLs years ago, but I found a 40W in the garage door opener. I'm not sure if it's the same size as a 60W. The LED bulb is about 3/8" - 1/2" longer than the 40W. Otherwise, they're the same diameter and pretty close in shape. The light from the LED bulb is very directional. If you put one in a table lamp, you'll light the ceiling more than the table. I tried one in a horizontal, single socket ceiling fixture and only lit up the one side of the room that the bulb faced. Best to have a dual-socket ceiling fixture. Sorry for the delay. I had to find an incandescent bulb. I converted my house to CFLs years ago, but I found a 40W in the garage door opener.

I am not sure if it is 40 or 60. It does put out good light. You are not going to be able to read with it but it is adequate. I like it and would buy again.
