[PSUBS-MAILIST] Lights

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi James,
I bought 4 dive lights off deal extreme, but not a trustfire. This was in addition
to 4 x 900 lumen torches I had bought previously.
To date I have found them unreliable, mainly in the switching function. Most of them
have 3 to 5 modes, which only complicates things. I have been doing searches for
12V torches or flood lights, to make things easy. My latest posting of  a link to a 12V flood light was 
the best I've found so far ($20-).

There is room in it to put multiple high powered leds & it looks
  like the thread in the back is compatible with a 12mm Blue Globe cable gland. There 
are a multitude of reflectors on the Deal extreme site to choose from.
There is also space  at the front to put in an oring grove.
I'm sure we could come up with some good cheap underwater lighting options under $100-
Alan

Hi Scott,
 
I just bought a some trustfire diving lights (there was a discussion on them a while ago).  Drilled and tapped a hole in the base, screwed in a blue globe gland and they were good to go.  Very easy to make and they are super bright.
Regards
James
