Floodlights seem to cast less light than they should

The floodlight casts a very shallow beam in comparison to carheadlights, highbeams and searchlights. Obviously the point of floodlights is to throw light over a broader area than more focused light sources like search lights and maybe the floodlights used by the military during the 80s were designed to throw a much shallower beam than the floodlights of today but having worked on many construction sights at night using similar trailer mounted non tower metal halide bulbed floodlights I find it hard to believe that it wouldnt throw light at least as far as equivelent headlights of the era considering how far ive witnessed a similar setup throw light.
