Whether the beam angle of a high-power LED simulated lumen (i.e., simulating the brightness output of a traditional light source) is uniform depends primarily on its optical design and packaging structure. The following is a brief analysis:
Definition of beam angle: The beam angle refers to the angle within the LED light source's light intensity distribution where the intensity drops to 50% of its central value. A uniform beam angle means that the light is evenly distributed in all directions, with no noticeable differences in brightness.
Design Impact: High-power LEDs typically utilize lenses or reflectors for secondary optical design to control the direction of light. Symmetrical designs (such as spherical lenses) achieve nearly uniform beam angles throughout 360°; directional designs (such as flat lenses) can bias the angle in a specific direction and become uneven.
Application Scenarios: A uniform beam angle is suitable for scenarios requiring all-around illumination (such as square lights), while a directional beam angle is suitable for long-range projection (such as street lights). When simulating lumens, the optical design must be adjusted according to the target to ensure that the brightness and angle match the required requirements.
Conclusion: Whether the beam angle of a high-power LED simulated lumen is uniform depends on the optical design. Symmetrical structures achieve uniform beam angles, while asymmetrical structures bias the beam angle in a specific direction. In actual applications, the appropriate design needs to be selected according to the scenario.
