A Guide to Lighting Patterns
When it comes to work lights, whether they’re LED or Halogen, you’ll often find the same model comes with several different lighting patterns. TYRI’s work lights are no different, with patterns that control the shape and direction of the light beam.
Knowing what each pattern does can help you choose the best lighting for your particular need. In this article, we will briefly describe the different options.
Symmetrical Lighting Patterns:
Most work lights are available in this option. The symmetrical pattern ensures that the light beam is evenly dispersed above and below the light’s centreline. In simple terms, it provides even illumination over a defined area.
Asymmetrical Lighting Patterns:
In contrast, the asymmetrical lighting pattern directs light forward and downward from the lamp’s centreline. This results in a more focused light on a specific area compared to an equivalent symmetric lamp, making it ideal when you need concentrated illumination for a particular task.
This lighting pattern is a popular choice on work sites as the asymmetric beam shape minimizes glare for individuals working and operating nearby machinery. This contributes to a safer work environment, reduces operator fatigue and thereby increases overall efficiency.
Beam Spread:
Both Symmetric and Asymmetric lamps are available with medium and wide horizontal beam spreads. The choice depends on the application, whether a broad or focused area of illumination is required, and the positioning of the lamps.

High/Narrow Spot Beam Patterns:
Narrow high beam lens patterns focus on projecting light forward for long-distance reach. Instead of spreading the light, they create a narrow, intense beam (or ‘spot’) perfect for situations requiring far-reaching and focused lighting.

Road-Approved Headlights:
TYRI manufactures road-approved headlights specifically for varied driving conditions. These lamps include a low beam (or ‘passing beam’), suitable for oncoming traffic, and a high beam (‘full beam’) designed for quieter roads where there is no oncoming traffic. TYRI’s HL1 lamp is a popular example of this.
Diffused Patterns:
A diffused lens option spreads the light evenly without a pattern. Perfect for close-up lighting and confined spaces, it provides a soft, glare-free light. This is especially useful for illuminating steps, machine cabs, or interior spaces. All TYRI lights are available with the diffused lens pattern.
Understanding these lighting patterns can help you make better decisions when choosing the right work light for your specific needs. Whether you need even dispersion, focused lighting, or long-distance reach, TYRI has the solution.
