Anyone play around long enough with many optics to find an optic that gives as close to an even pattern as the above link? Thanks in advance.

It's pi*

about 50-60 degrees

So I take it you need something like 6-7 clustered LED's with 50-60degree lenses to give that amount of flood and mid-range even throw?

I think the Carclo 10200 20mm optic in a triple config with Crees might come close -maybe not as wide though.
I'll setup a similar scenario and try mine out in the next day or so and post a couple pix.
What sort of lumens are you looking at for the Arc?
Cheers

A wide optic will give a nice flood of the ground in front of you but also illuminate the sky, which is a big waste of light.
If you are going to use 6 LEDs why have them all pointed in the same direction?
How about 4 15 degree optics in a line, two pointed right ahead and two angled off so you cover 45 degrees. Two more pointed a bit lower with no overlap(spill from the others should be fine here) to give 50 degree illumination right in front?
