What is the beam angle of these and what spacing do you recommend if putting multiple along a fence?

Victoria, I replaced the original halogen lamp with a Torchstar 5watt LED lamp with a beam angle of 36 degrees to enable me to operate more fixtures on a single transformer. These lamps are 2700K and give the landscaping a nice warm glow. Without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it would be hard to say what spacing you may need. I use this fixture for up lighting trees in my yard. The spacing will also depend on the distance the fixtures are installed away from the fence. I hope this helps some what. Dean

You could squeeze 2 swings on an 8 ft beam...10 ft would be roomy. If you want 3 use a 12 ft beam. Your swing hangers will be 18 or 20 inches apart, and you want 20 plus inches between swings.

I bought several of these lights and installed them under the eave above the garage door opening, at the back of the house under the eave to light up the back doors and around the patio area and the pool. As long as the lights are aimed properly they will sense motion. They provide a very bright light that cuts a wide arc pathway since there are three lights per set. I would guesstimate 7-8 feet should be the maximum height to pick up cars and people, but not the neighbor's stray cat or dogs. It's all about the angle when you install them. Any home handyman could advise you. Trial and error at dusk is a good way to see if the lights are working the way you want them to work.

I put 4 lights on a board between the fence which would be a 6 ft section, it does give off enough light to light up the fence on top don't know if this is helpful

Depending on the height of the ceiling I would space them farther apart. I am currently using 1 to illuminate my 8x20 wood shed.

My husband placed the three "poles" 13 feet apart (we used two aspen trunks and our fence) and the sides of the said are a little bit smaller than that. Hope this helps.

Hello, dear customer, we are sorry that the beam is 45~50 degree. we have no 60 degree beam spread now. Actually, 45~50 degree is the most common and suitable. Any other problem, please tell us freely, it is our great honor to serve you. Best regards, Lemonbest

I had a simular situation , quick answer would be yes, the beam is a little too directional, but my solution to this would be to get a repeater, there around $20 and if you point this to the repeater you'll get a much wider area to work with. Hope this helps, and just a side bit, I was using this for a rangof about 800' so as for signal you'll have a very strong signal

From 50-60 feet away I have two of these angled 10 degrees apart. I'd estimate the width is 40 feet. They are very bright though!

MS K, Best eye ball measurement is fifteen inches top to bottom. I'm not sure what you, mean by on top of each other. I assume you could put two sets one above the other. I mounted mine on two fence posts that were eight feet apart. I used my owns self tapping screws because the hardware that came with it I did not feel was strong enough. I'll take your call if you have another questions. 2094027693.Cheers Lee

I have had mine set up in the house at about 30 ft and they work fine. My Sirt laser pistol will cast a visible beam on the neighbors garage about 300 yards across the park when it is close to dusk. I was assuming that it would work if the beam was visible but I haven't tested that theory. I can't see the visible beam over 30-40 ft outside on a sunny day. I haven't tried the targets outside yet. I will get back to you when I do

YOU NEED TO PUT A CUP HOOK IN THE TOP OF THE LIGHT AND I THINK THEY CAME WITH THE LIGHTS, THEN A HOOK OR SOMETHING ON YOUR beam based on where you want the lights to hang and you are good to go. i have about a 21ft awning and 6 lights works out well on it. hopefully this is a help

You'll probably be better off to buy the 18' pergola and shorten the "beams" that sit on top of the brackets. If you cut beam where it connects to the other half, then put some sheet metal screws in the top of the connection for stability, the tapered ends would remain the same, only the piece would be the right width. Do the same with the 2 X 2 pieces that sit at the very top, sealing joints with silicone. The heaviest part of the entire piece are the side brackets; otherwise the cross members are very lightweight and should work well, without concern of sagging, for your project. Hope that helps. Maybe use the remaining support bracket for a mailbox, or if hung upside down, for hanging planters.

Thanks for the answer but I was looking for the exact distance in between the mounted brackets length wise. I would anticipate it to be around 8 feet or so.

I agree with the previous answer, the light is minimal. If you had them on either side of you path and spaced pretty close, probably every foot or two you might have enough light. Cool idea, but no sure if these are the right choice.

Not sure about the angle but I use them for the recessed lighting in my kitchen (an 8' ceiling) and they do a fantastic job.

They are 2,150 lumens each at 27watts each and the beam pattern is 60 degrees at maybe 20-50 feet, depending how you aim them and where you mount them as well.
