People are usually getting confused when choosing a flashlight, when they know nothing about it. For example, what is a lumen? Is it waterproof? And a lot of people can't distinguish between floodlight flashlight and spotlight flashlight. Today we come to understand the difference between these two flashlights, as well as the advantages and disadvantages between the two.
First, let's cover the basics:
Beam angle (pattern):
a measurement of the angles that are formed between a cone of light's brightest point (the center) and the points on both sides of the center where the light's intensity is 50 percent as bright.
Floodlight:
To make it simple, a flashlight that gives you flood light will lighten a bigger wider area in front of you. A floodlight can have a beam spread of up to 120 degrees. It can illuminate a larger amount of space with the same wattage and lumen output as a spotlight.
Spotlight:
A spotlight will lighten a much more narrow area in front of you but it will reach further ahead than a flood light. A spotlight casts a narrow beam of light, usually no wider than 45 degrees and the beam is more concentrate.
Then let's check out the advantages and disadvantages as well as applications of these two kinds of flashlights.
Floodlight flashlight:
Advantage:
The central spot is strong, the light is distributed in the flood area evenly. The lighting range is wide and the viewing angle is large. It's suitable for medium and long distance illumination. The objects covered by the light are clear but not glare.
Disadvantage:
The illumination distance is not far enough, and the light is slightly dispersed.
Application area:
Outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, night riding, fishing, mountain climbing, and so on. Search and rescue as well as other activities that require large-area lighting. In the dark wild jungle or the desert, we are more eager to know the surrounding environment, and the range of the floodlight can fix this problem.
Spotlight flashlight:
Advantage:
The central light is bright and the light is concentrated, and the long-range effect is relatively good. It's suitable for long-distance irradiation.
Disadvantage:
The diffuse light of the floodlight area is relatively small, the viewing angle is also small. There is too little flood light in the vicinity, the light can not be evenly diffused, so the irradiation area is also small, and the range is narrow.
Application area:
Light-speed outdoor sports, hunting, high-speed night riding, special outdoor work, etc., which require long-distance illumination.
Is your flashlight floodlight or spotlight? :naughty:
