Due to the less than 180 degree downward coverage, this seems useless in almost every situation. Only when you have extreme high ceilings would it cmr in handy. They should try to widen the downward pattern to get as close to 180 degrees as possible, like panoramic cameras usually do.

Agreed, the actual dispersion angle is 150 degrees, not 360 or 180.
