15 gallon softy tank. With a Rapid led par 38 FS bulb. It has 60 deg optics on it. (won it at swap)

Would that bulb be enough to light the tank ? Its rigged up with a work lamp hanging from the ceiling now. UGLY! But the light look so much better than a 2 bulb t5! Hanging about 2 ft off the tank to get spread. But light also hits the floor around it....

Would 80 deg lens Be better? How do i figure the height to hang it off the water?

Anyone know how to hang it with out it looking like a "pet shop"
