I think the fine print for one of them says 120 degrees horizontal beam spread.
Do they all have the same spread? Or do the dual LED types have a wider spread than the single LEDs?
why no red tail lights in the lineup?

If you imagine the beam pattern to be similar to a action camera Field of view then this is how it is sorta. The idea is to get the light spread side to side across the path you are traveling rather than a narrower spot of light.
They won't all be the same and there will be many factors that determine how much useful light you have such as output, lens, led profile, and reflector
