LED Lights Behind Mesh Grill

So I've got a couple of questions concerning lights mounted behind the grill. I'm planning on doing the Satoshi-style grill mod on my '12 and have the BAMF Light Bracket to mount lights, but I am curious about the type of mesh I should use. I've got some small diamond mesh from customcargrills that is 65% open area that I was planning on using, but I want to get as much light down range as possible. So does anyone else have this sort of setup and/or noticed any issues? Should I try to mount the lights closer to the grill to minimize the mesh blocking the light output? I'm planning on running a few lights, but I've got a pair of Rigid Duallys that I will start with first.

Thanks for the help and if there is a similar write-up feel free to pass it on, I did a little searching but couldn't find quite what I was looking for.

 

I have 3 Squadron XL's mounted behind a Grillecraft mesh grill and I have no issues with them being behind the grill. You can see a little bit of the mesh pattern on the outside of the lights beam but not bad at all!

 

Dang! Those are bright! Thanks for the input and letting me know. Good looking truck btw.
