[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED Lights

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Cliff,
Forget the focus or beam of light.  With big lumen go with a wide beam(flood)  you have the power.
My 400W 120v AC halogen had no reflector at all, and it  lit up the lake like I pulled the sun to the bottom.

 For anyone that
 has a large LED or halogens on their boat, can you share
 your experience on narrow beam vs flood lights.   Building
 a LED housing to be low profile to fit in a FRP recess is
 going to be difficult with a reflector to get a narrow
 beam.  As an example, a typical reflector size for a Vero
 29 is 110mm (4.33") diameter and 67mm (2.64")
 deep.  This is massive and you still need housing and heat
 sink fins.
 I am wonder if we really need a focused light or
 is a flood light adequate?
