Does the AI Sol blue come standard with the 40 degree optics?

Also have any of you switched to the 70 degree optics and how did you like it?

So what do you think about making them all 70?

My lights need more of a spread as they are just about 3-4" off the water if that.

Im also curious to find out this info. Hopefully this doesn't throw the thread off, but those of you who have, where is the best place to buy the 70 degree optics?

I switched mine to all 70s which improved light spread nicely but it really killed the PAR (about 20%)!

Rev, your light spread will improve greatly if you raise them further away from the water

Honestly I would like less intensity and I have no option to raise my lights that I am happy with.
