If you have no canopy, how much light spill are you getting?

I'm planning for a 30" wide tank, would you think of a fixture was centered on a wide tank the light spill will be less? Or is the viewing angle from sitting too low for it to make a difference?

Tank is 24" wide and fixture is 15" wide. It's not the front that gets the spill though, it's the sides.


Here's a pic of the view from the couch.
