Introduction to flood Lights

Floodlights are not spotlights, projection lights, or spotlights. Floodlights produce highly diffuse, non-directional light instead of clear beams, so the shadows produced are soft and transparent. When used for object lighting, the speed of lighting attenuation is much slower than when using spotlights. There are even some floodlights with very slow decay that look like a light source that does not produce shadows. The spotlight projects a directional, well-defined beam to illuminate a specific area.
