Best tint for SCUBA

gav6280 · Dec 28, 2008

Im going to get some R2's from cutter. What is the best tint for SCUBA.

They have:

R2 Flux (WH Tint) Cold White (+$5.57)
R2 Flux (WC Tint) Cold White (+$5.57)
R2 Flux (WD Tint) Cold White (+$5.57)
R2 Flux (WF Tint) Cold White (+$5.57)

The light is not for photography, i just want the beam to go as far as possible in our UK green waters.

Does anyone know of any R2's on 14mm PCB's? Like DX's q5 ones?

Believe it or not, the best ones on murky waters are those LEDS with "pee green" tint.

More information

You can try to locate those LEDs, or if you have a multiled head you can use one one green and three whites, for example.

Of those, the WH for the reason given by the above poster -- the "pee green" tint.

I use the WC tint Q5's from DX and think they are well suited.

I also have a few of the R2's from DX and they have a slight green tint but I have never used them underwater.
