Does the light emitted from the reflector cover a broad area? Or is the light pretty localized into a spot

It's not a reflector umbrella. It's more of a diffuser. It will light up a small room, not just one small area. This has more lighting than a softbox. I only use one of them most of the time.

As far a clarity I would say that from the light to about 30 yards it is almost blinding on high output. Beyond 30 yards to about 50 or so it did a pretty good job of illuminating about a 10 to a 15 foot wide area.

Area covered is wide, even and bright. It doesnt light up things far away- more of a flood light than a spot light. I would think perfect for hiking unless you want to light up the trail 100 yards in front of you.

It has a narrow focus. It might light a small table if it mounted high enough. We use it just to light a small spot for close up work.

It will not cover an area from outside one car to the outside of the other. This is mainly due to the fact of the positioning of the light is centered pointing out. I honestly cant answer the intensity level as its been installed for about 3 years now and is probably a little dull due to lack of cleaning. The light is a bright white led light rather than the yellow but it illuminates an area of about 20-30 ft diameter from about 20 ft up our house.

It's a bit more focused than just a standard light bulb. From the lens part out, it will send light out in all direction but it is more intents at the center. I use it for a replacement light for my Fiber Optic Christmas Tree. Hardly any heat and it looks good. I used it in a Floor lamp and it puts a good colorful spot on the ceiling.. Hop that helps.

It is a floodlight, NOT a spotlight. There is no focusing mechanism. In fact, I question whether the metal reflector in the light really does much of anything.

Keith said spot. I think they have to much spread to be spot. They light up a pretty large area despite being mounted about 6' off the ground in my application.

This should not negatively effect the reflectors ability to bounce light. My reflector is wrinkled up except for when I use it and I have never experienced any issues with the wrinkled reflectors ability to properly light my subject.

It is very bright. You cannot see into it directly. The beam pattern is circular and it is wide enough because the intensity helps to point the beam far to make it wide to about 10 ft.

Mounted 8 feet high it has a very bright area only about 30 feet in diameter. However, a fair amount of light goes out at least 75 to 100 feet.

I cannot answer this question with an estimate in number of degrees, but it's plenty broad. I have mine installed in a narrow space and it it completely illuminated. It is not some sort of spot beam, it is broadly dispersed bright light and remarkably powerful for such little electricity.

Look at the reflector if there is more surface area side to side face the led towards the most surface area for the best results!

Hi Jorege -- My iluminated the whole side of the house and you can see it from far... but if you want to lightup a big area, you have play with the angels to cover the radios you want. It is very powerful and we are very happy with the results.

These are floods rather than spots. I have them in my kitchen ceiling, and they provide even lighting with no bright or dark spots. I have one by itself over the kitchen sink. It illuminates the sink and several feet of countertop on either side. So their beam angle is fairly diffuse.

It covers like 12-14. Go about 3 ft wide and 4 long. Start your 4ft line about 6 inches behind back of the reflector

Probably...I can't really say how far the throw is, but there is a very bright center spot. I would say that for its overall lumens, it probably will spot things farther than other lights of similar power.
