Hello all, I am in the process of designing my dive light. I have a couple questions though that I couldn't find a definite answer for. I mainly dive lakes and quarry's that have a fair amount of silt depending on the weather. I would like to build a can light as my next dive light but am having a hard time deciding what to do. I like the focus of an aspheric to cut through the muck but would also like at least a little spill for wrecks clearer water.
I am wondering what you guys think would do the job best. I was thinking about doing a hybrid with a single aspheric using http://www.dealextreme.com/p/xmlawt-1000-lumen-led-emitter-white-light-bulb-3-0-3-5v-51989 and then 4 more with reflectors for flood similar to what H20doc did with his light but having both on separate switches or different modes on a single switch. Other options would be a single aspheric or a 3 emitter setup using http://cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut1100 with their reflector.
I am still working on what driver to use but I am open to suggestions. Any help would be welcome.
