Really focused, resulting in the high par values.
Initially these lights were designed for placement up to 4' above water for commercial use.

We are actually talking to the manufacturer in changing the collimator angles for a more home user effect, the pars will be slightly reduced, but you will get better coverage. As we will be the authorize warranty depot for the Led's in Canada, we will be able to help modify them better for non-commercial use.

Then again, for a suggested retail of $349.99 for the 60d, it's nothing to sneeze at.

From experience with my led array.

i think for the the price this is a decent lighting module.
As for the lens at 60 degree is a bit narrow will have to be at least 18" high from the surface,if you remove the lens or replace it with a wider angle you will loose quite a bit of PAR.
At 1W each totals 112w What is the amperage drive max or what are they driven at as most companies drive the Led at only 70% of the full capability.
