Firstly let me say Hi as I'm new to this community..
And secondly, I'm wanting to build a new dive light to replace my MR16 halogen equipped Mag head..
Now living in Australia and frequenting the cutter website I thought that I wanted to squeeze 4 Cree XRE's and associated optics into the Mag until I came across the MC-E.. I did question the suitability of the available MC-E reflector/optic choices (most being MR11 sized and not MR16)..
Doing more research led me here (pardon the pun!) and reading the various threads has just made me even more confused!!
As most of my diving is done here in Sydney where the vis can be anywhere from 1-25m, I'm just wondering what you guys would suggest?
Is there a clear cut X is better than Y scenario here? Do you guys find you need to dim your light at all? If so, how is this achieved?
Basically I have none of the componentry yet save for the D Mag..all else is negotiable..
I'd appreciate your thoughts and I do apologise if this has been asked many times before!
Cheers.
