The T/F Stop exposure levels outputted by the calculator would be correct for the center of the lit area, falling to approximately 50% exposure at each side of the beam spread.

The database has been complied from manufacturer data to contain as much relevant information for each fixture taking into account specifics for lens type, lamp setting and specific beam spread.
