Fall-off

« Back to Glossary Index

Light fall-off follows an inverse-square law, meaning that the power of the light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. For example, taking distance of 2 and squaring it equals 4, the inverse of which is 1/4 (meaning a quarter of the original power).
