Ted: Yes, that's where I ran onto the word. But as you imply one can't take sites like SlangSite, Online Slang Dict, and UrbanDict too seriously because many of the entries are only local or regional; while sometimes the contributor's def is inaccurate or not well phrased

In further Googling I did however encounter two or three hits where a ref was made to lasers. Whether that particular usage was restricted to this particular form of radiation is questionable. Eta and Mav's conclusion that the term is nothing more than a synonym for coverage is probably accurate

Thus wouldn't "beamage" be a back formation

Any lighting experts in the crowd
