What is the difference between a lamps Beam angle & Field angle?

The Beam angle is the angle between the two planes of light where the luminous intensity is 50% of the maximum luminous intensity at the centre of the beam.

The Field angle is the angle between the two planes of light where the luminous intensity is 10% of the maximum luminous intensity at the centre of the beam.
