Can you loose 118 of par going 5"s deeper? A friend is borrowing so old lights of mine. Say the par sucks. Says they have 184 of par 1" under the surface and 66 at 6" below surface. Does this sound right?

Could be depending on the light

It’s completely possible. It depends on the type of lighting, the lens of the light or the reflector, water clarity, the age of the bulb, how far above the water it’s suspended, there are a ton of different variables, but it’s absolutely possible to go from 184 at 1” of water to 66 at 6” of water. The issue is that 184 at the surface is really low.
