The beam angle of an LED bulb is the angular dimension of the cone of light from the lamp. It encompasses the central part of the beam out to the angle where the intensity is 50 percent of maximum.
For most household ceiling-fitted applications, a beam angle of 30 or 40 degrees would be sufficient. For outdoor applications, a wider beam angle of 60 to 120 degrees is preferred to cover a larger surface area.
Color temperatures range from warm white to cool white.
Our LED specialty lighting category contains a variety of LED bulbs that are ideal for specialty lighting situations including:
Unlike directional lights, omnidirectional LED bulbs give you a 360° beam angle. These light bulbs are great for lamps and light fixtures that allow full illumination. We wouldn't recommend using omnidirectional bulbs in recessed lighting fixtures because most of the light would be trapped in the ceiling. These light bulbs are ideal for floor lamps, table lamps, and wall sconces.
