Don’t try to make a small area extra bright to compensate
That’s really annoying and distracting
If you want more light
Make the area larger
Don’t fall for the false idea of making the source brighter
That’s the difference between well designed lighting and bad modern led setups
You want to avoid a speculare source situation because that causes the point to be focused back on retinas of the people looking or not looking at your light and getting blinded by a spot that is just too intense.
