Well this is a good example of not trusting everything you read on a forum. The issue with Marine pro is it has very little coverage. It only has a 60 degrees lens angle (Orbit Marine has 120 degrees).So it puts a lot of light in a small area but to have equal coverage you would need to have 2 of them.

And unlike some people claim it is not a power issue, Here I attached the PAR data of marine pro. You can see it has the strongest light intensity of any Current USA light fixture. But it also has the lowest coverage. Lenses on marine pro are designed to concentrate light on a small area.
