My big question now is, about how far is everyone off the water? I see a few posts of 14-16 inches from water to bulb, one guy I spoke with said Coralvue was recommending 12 inches, but I can’t find anywhere that confirms that number. I am sitting at about 14.5.

I will get a pic posted once I get done tweaking them to get the light where I want it on the rocks.
Distance matters between the size of the reflector and the wattage of the bulb.
