my eotech clone is plenty bright, easily used for outdoors, my issues have always been clarity of the lens-making it difficult to shoot using one eye, and the slight parralax(havent noticed any accuracy problems yet though).

With a holo sight replica, does the distance between the led and lense matter? I find with my cheaper plain red dot there is a quarter of the parrallax(to the point that you only notice a slight movement when you move to the outer most edges) and the led seems about 1.5 times farther from the lense than my eotech clone(which cost significantly more, and my cheap red dot has very low parralax, is plenty bright, extremely clear lense, and multiple different reticles that I prefer over the eotech.)

Is the lense in a holosight clone anything special? If all it took was a powerful led, creating a cutout screen for the led(custom reticle would be great) and a lense a custom optic would be awesome and possibly cheaper.
