Ellipsoidals

Common Ellipsoidal Beam Sizes

When calculating the beam diameter of a given fixture you multiply its Multiplication Factor (MF) X the throw distance. The MF for many common beam spreads and lens sets are listed below. Please note these are not precision measurements, only approximate measurements. Example for a 5° fixture at a distance of 50' you would multiply 50 X .09 to find a beam diameter of 4.5'.
