How much difference between flood and spot patterns?

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay, I was out and under the weather yesterday... Let's get these answered!
--
Q: "Is it true that you are working on a replacement fog light that will go in the place of the stock F150 housing ?"
A: At the moment we are considering different options and our engineers have this project in their minds. Nothing as of yet, however.

Q: How much difference between flood and spot patterns?
A: Our Spot and Flood patterns are true to their names, however not in the way you might think. When your vehicle is moving your range of view becomes much more narrow. While stopped, the spot beam will seem very much pencil like, but at speed the beam will light up objects far down the road with a great intensity. The same goes for the Flood. At a stand still it appears also almost pencil like. However, when moving you will notice a wider range (ditch to ditch) from the spot beam, while still getting great distance.
To elaborate: The D-Series (Dually and D2) lights are very popular. To arrange them in order from pencil beam to the most spread out pattern we have would be this.
Dually Spot
Dually Flood
D2 Driving
D2 Wide
Dually Diffused
D2 Diffused
My recommendation: I will always tell you the D2 Driving is the absolute best starter light. It is named "Driving Beam" for a reason. The pattern it throws out is perfect for overall coverage down the road. (The D2 Wide being slightly more wide with slightly less distance) Pair that up with the Dually Spot or Dually Flood and you have a great combination for line of sight far down the road as well as your immediate driving area.
The Diffused lights are something else entirely! The Dually D2 Diffused is a light you will turn on and immediately say WOW. I recommend this light for applications where slow to no vehicular movement is involved. I.E. back up lights, scene lighting... These are true to the traditional sense of the Flood light. Visually you can tell these two lights apart from the reset by their bubbly diffusion lens on top of the optics.

Do you guys have any mounting kits for light bars other than the raptor? I was thinking of putting a 30" in the bottom space of my grill (on the outside), but i would have to fabricate some kind of bracket that goes through the grill to do that. Do y'all have any other mounting options for F-150's?
