Some manufacturers have simplified beam angles into different types: narrow, medium, and wide. Furthermore, floodlights have very wide beams while spotlights are narrower. The former is best for areas like parking lots while spotlights are best for putting architectural details on display. The following are examples of MR16. Remember the bulb type can vary depending on the application. 

· Very Narrow Spot <7°

· Narrow Spot 5°-15°

· Spot 16°-22°

· Narrow Flood 23°-32°

· Flood 32°-45°

· Wide Flood 45°-60°

· Very Wide Flood >60°

What are lumens?

Lumens are responsible for the brightness of a light bulb. Typically, you would think that a bulb is not bright enough when you don’t achieve the proper ambiance but that is not always the case. Remember to take the ceiling’s height into consideration. The light’s brightness will not change due to the height but the beam angle will change. You can always check the manufacturer’s box to ensure you have the right angle and number of lumens.
