It is shown that a light beam in free space is representable by an integral over a vectorial angular spectrum that is expressed in terms of an extension matrix, which describes the vectorial nature of the beam. A symmetry axis of the extension matrix is identified. When it is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the propagation axis, we arrive at such beams that show us for the first time the observable evidence of the Beauregard effect. The advanced representation theory may yield any kinds of light beam, and the uncovered Beauregard effect would play its unique roles in applications.
