Julie,
it was 8' high and I was sitting directly under it. I checked the spread and at the 8-foot distance from the table, the coverage was over 12 feet wide until it started to feather out. Like I said, it makes a nice alternative when you get shoe-horned into a small space. I have a similar situation coming up on Friday at a Rottie Specialty in West Palm Beach and it's nice to know I have a lighting alternative -- that I like -- if there isn't room for both strobes.
