I assume you crafted the housing and mount you have the LED(s) mounted in?
Yes, directed lighting is so much better (and efficient) than just shooting photons all over the place.

Yes, I had the heads that the LED is mounted in custom machined. I had around 100 a few years ago and they were never a big hit - finally down to just a handful that I've put aside for my own use. The end of the head has 1/4" NPT that screws directly to the locline. Love locline, watertight and nice and flexible and strong enough to hold a reasonable weight off the end with sagging...

cheers,
george.
