So if that is accurate then two LEDs with 80 degree optics already covers more area than needed as far as distribution. So then how do I figure out how many are needed for intensity?

Why is the LED spacing recommendation 2"? If the spread is that wide I'm not sure why there is even any need to spread them out at all.
