ARC LS high vs low dome? any LS side emitter mods?

considering buying an ARC LS premium. would like more throw than flood. anyone recommend high or low dome? any shots for comparison?

also, why not use a reflector with a side emitter luxeon? anyone tried a mod like this on an arc ls? i'd think it would be insanely good throw. but may end up looking like a ring?

thanks

The reflector would be too small to create a good throw for a side emitter. It would need to be the size of a mag c/d light to capture enough light. Even a high dome needs to have a larger reflector than something the size of a Brinkmann Legend or minimag to do the job well...

If you prefer a good throwing LS, you may want to take a look at the Blaster series of lights from Elektrolumens. Or you can alternatively request some of the modders here to build you a light designed for throw.

I forgot to mention you can also grab yourself an EverLed and dab it into a focusable head for a good throwing LS...

High dome for throw. Low dome for more of a flood (still way better throw than standard 5mm LEDs). Side emitter is designed for use with a reflector and not NX01 or NX05 optics.
