RE: [Paddlewise] Krill Lights

Bob, 

The lights I have are 180 degree extreme green lights.  While I did not do a
complete destructive examination it appears that the 180 degree lights have
half the luminescent material and apply more power per square centimeter to
get more light output.  When the lights that Chuck is ordering arrive I will
try some subjective illumination testing.
