Has anyone compared the fixed beam Speleo to the Focus 2.0 on its tightest setting?

Really liked the Halcyon Focus 2.0 tight beam in UK water for signalling and finding my way through the murk. Didn't find much use for widening the beam though as the power simply wasn't there. So trying to see if there is a fixed beam light out there with similar penetration power.

Noticed from another thread that King_Of_Battle thought their Focus 2.0 (original output) was roughly 1050 lumens so thinking the Speleo should be about the same if not slightly more powerful (on paper anyway).

However its not clear how to directly compare the focus / spread of light from the 2 manufacturers as Halcyon don't provide any information on the degree or spill and halo of their beam.

Anyone done a side by side in murky conditions?

Thanks,

Simon
 
you can not compare these lights ( speleo is single die emmiter , focus is quad of that led )

you can compare focus with nautilus , both have aspherics lenses and too big led emitter probably Cree XHP 70/1/2


from ammonite site Umbilical Dive Light - Led Nautilus

''This innovative dive light utilizes the latest COB Cree CXB chip and Fresnel lens that allows '' :rant::letsparty:
