6000 lumen Deap Sea and Light LED light for our AUV, broad beam, not focused and no reflected tape
Why is everyone using such bright lights?? There is absolutely no need for this overkill. Last year we used a really dim (and I mean like a 2 dollar toy keychain light) to illuminate the targets.

If you use a dim colored light the retro reflective properties of the tape will allow you to get a nice HSV range you can use in your programs.
