A spotlight has a narrow beam that concentrates light on a small area.
A floodlight is built so that the light spreads over a wide area.
the term "searchlight" is equivalent to floodlight.
IMHO a "spotlight" is a narrow focus beam only and a "searchlight" is a hard mounted moveable light. But who cares? It's just semantics.
Basically the difference is that a spot light is focused and concentrates all of the light in a small area and a flood light spreads all of the light over a larger area.
A 1,000 watt spot light might have a very bright 10' diameter circle at 100 ft and a 1,000 watt flood light might have a 40' circle but less bright at 100 ft.
If you are looking for something you might use a flood light because it covers a larger area.
If you know something is there but are having a difficult time identifying it, you would probably prefer a spot light. |
