That is why REAL hid lamps have a cut off line

it;s a shied built into the lamp.
yes it was nice seeing this picture.


the plan was to purchase appropriate-power LED's like this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5-HEAD-LIG...item415f577bc2


and install them inside a PVC tube of several inches diameter and 5-8 inches length. should the light spread too much in all directions I would back the light up inside the tube as necessary until the beam is narrower as the tube would cut away more of the spillage.

A shield could also be built in so there would be no light spillage at all above a predetermined height like in the picture here.

finally, I would take a pic of the beam against a wall exactly like you said,and see if it produces results that are satisfactory in terms of safety to others.

the bulb in the link I've just provided takes 1.8 watt and is a 60 watt equivelant, here's a quote from the description which you can see yourself by clicking on the like I've just provided...unless the listing is incorrect/in error
"- Power consumption: 1.8W (Equal to 60W bulbs) "


again this picture was much appreciated.
