What is the difference between Spot Beam and Flood Beam?

The difference between spot beam and flood beam comes down to beam pattern, distance, and spread—and each is suited to different driving conditions.

Spot Beam

A spot beam is designed to project light in a narrow, concentrated pattern over a long distance.

Features:

• Long-range illumination (distance-focused)
• Narrow beam angle
• Ideal for high-speed or open-road driving
• Helps you see hazards far ahead

Best for:

• Highway driving
• High-speed outback roads
• Spotting animals or obstacles at long range

Flood Beam

A flood beam spreads light in a wide, broad pattern, illuminating a large area closer to the vehicle.

Features:

• Wide beam angle
• Short to medium distance
• Excellent peripheral and side visibility
• Lights up the road edges and surrounds

Best for:

• Slow-speed off-road driving
• Tight tracks and bush driving
• Camp setup or work areas
• Improving side visibility on trails
