BAS does not seem to recognise, or choose to recognise, the existence of wide-angle downlights. He may perhaps be caught in some sort of 'spotlight time warp'.38° beam angle would look like a lot of torches shining beams down from the ceiling. I know you say you've seen them but was that a large number in close proximity? 100 or 120° would give much nicer light. These are very good and half the price.
