The shape of a lamp determines how wide or narrow the light beam is.

• A focused lamp, such as a spotlight or reflector, has a beam narrower than 90°.

  • Decorative use: highlighting an object by directing light onto it.

  • Practical use: accurately illuminating a work surface, such as a kitchen counter.

• Looking for broader, more evenly distributed light, for example for general room lighting? A round-beam lamp is better suited, as the light spreads more evenly.

In short: the shape of the lamp and the beam angle determine how and where the light falls, making them crucial when choosing the right lighting for your space or application.
