Depending on wether you glyphed it or not 5 or 6 targets are affected.
- an icon that represents people in range of the Person with beacon of light, those that transfer heal to the beaconed target if healed (basically a 60 yard check)
I would even donate some of my cursepoints to this

Unless a spell in your spellbook or an item in your inventory actually has a range of 60 yards, the only way to check this would be to continuously query the map positions of every raid member and calculate the distance between them and whoever the Beacon was on.

which is exactly what i had in mind, libmapdata provides that info , so does astrolabe.
Sounds like a giant waste of CPU cycles... do you really have so much trouble keeping track of what's going on around you that you need an addon to tell you when people are standing right in front of you? :|
I made this since I already have an addon that does something similar (and is an even bigger waste of CPU cycles since it has to range check everyone in the raid against everyone else in the raid, still haven't decided if it's worth it or not).
I didn't do anything with Beacon of Light since as far as I am aware, what you describe is not actually how Beacon of Light functions.
According to that, all you would want is something to indicate when your beacon target is more than 60 yards away from you. So all you have to do is make sure you stay within 60 yards of them, and everyone you heal will be a possible beacon heal source, no need to range check everyone in the raid relative to your beacon target.
Edit: To me, this seems better suited to a separate addon that would pop up a message alerting you that you have gone more than 60 yards from your beacon target, rather than a Grid Status.
I don't have a Paladin, so I can't really test how accurate it is.

Curse PremiumWhat would be useful to me is:
- an icon on my grid that shows who is healed with the Light of Dawn (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=85222/light-of-dawn),
Light of Dawn is not a frontal cone as the SpellDescription would make you think but rather a 30 Yard rectangel 5 yards to the left and right of your character (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2065569682?page=1 )

which is exactly what i had in mind, libmapdata provides that info , so does astrolabe.
