Inside what? And what beam pattern?

My master bedroom is huge, and my plain old Cree LED will blow me back. Granted it's a fairly focused beam... but even the splash.... 500 would have to spread light wide enough to back light me to tame it down... I'd guess.

I'm all about more horsepower... but for an indoor light, I've seen the downside.
