well my thoughts on this rig after i built it and sold were as follows:
the optics i used were good, but they didnt throw at all, it was a good flood for about 10 feet, but nothing past that
Our vis here in Puget sound can get really mucky down to 5 feet at worst , average here is 15 to 20 feet , I d like to maybe see more throw with this set up , past the 20 foot mark , and with that said , id prob try throwing in maybe a 50 to 60 deg frosted optic..
What i was trying to get from this set up was massive light to light up a sunken wreck or at least light up a nice reef wall... but i think the optics need to be more in the lower deg range...... any way it was a good first build and i learned alot from it
