I do some flounder gigging and recently switch to leds I had been using metal halide was wonder what types of lights penetrate the water the best.

Nothing really penetrates but here is the run down.
High Pressure Sodium (HPS) - most use for muddy water, makes the fish almost glow
Halogens - Great all around light for most of Texas
Metal Halide (MH) - super bright and work excellent for clear water, but reflects a lot in murky water.

Most bowfishing LED's will be measured against these "colors", but they will call them "temperatures"
