    I have many Gentle Splash floods and just bought a Fat Boy spotlight with 3W narrow beam LED.
    The light output between the two is very uneven, the Fat Boy being much brighter (3x?).
    I would like to have it be more like the lights I have, what is the best way to 'dial back' the output?

    Hello Mike,

    The recommendation that I would make would be to lower the bulb wattage of the Fat Boy down to a 2W LED MR16 (150 lumens compared to the 300 lumens from the 3W version).

    Once that is done, you could also swap out the interchangeable lenses as needed to help further match the light if needed (these lenses come included with the Gentle Splashes).
