    Anyone else have issues installing lens on the LED's with the rapidLED heatsink that comes with a splash guard? It seems like the splash guard is a bit too close to the LEDs and the lens comes out too far to be able to put the splash guard on. Anyone with some ideas? I'm looking to raise my fixture a few more inches but need to keep the intensity.

    I think it states that you can't use certain lenses with the splash guard on their website?
