i would say the spread of the spotlights are roughly 1ft x 1ft range for the 27W version and abotu 10"x 10" for the 15W version. Penetration on the LED are fairly good, with the light at 10" above the surface and the PAR meter 10" below surface we were getting ~250PAR for the 27W and ~160PAR for the 15W. Considering MH coverage is roughly 24-30" depending on the reflector, these little bulbs are pretty up to par(no pun intended) in terms of area of coverage and PAR value(almost equal to a 250W if not equal).
And it does just fit right into an average lighting socket
so if your socket breaks somehow something at homedepot or hardware store can fix it.
