Based on my limited experience, you're asking for two different things here. I've had two big floody lights -- P7 and MCE -- and my TK-11 (R2) with half the light output outthrows both of them. Putting more power into a flood pattern hits diminishing returns real quick.
Why aren't you asking for more throw? What do you think about using two lights?
