From reading this forum I've picked up a lot of terminoligy, some of it I'm not too sure about... I just want to get something straight, can you guys help me with this?
Flood: Wide beam with the light spread evenly throughout that area. Lights up a large area, doesn't travel very far.
Spot: Narrow beam with light concentrated in one small general area. Lights up a small area, travels very far.
Spill: A combination of the above two. (Or is it just light unintentionally escaping the intended illumination area?)
Focus: Not a beam characteristic. Just the ability to switch between Flood or Spot and anywhere in between.
I hope I have this right, please correct me if I'm wrong.
