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-

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

Thanks Emile,
 
I have a lathe. Do you have any designs for light housings? Thank for the link. I may go that route if I can't get my housings to stop leaking.
 
Thanks,
Scott Waters

Scott,
 
I made lamp housings for a while. But now I think it is better to purchase lampheads for technical scuba diving.

 If you own a small lathe you can make them yourself.

Does anyone have a source for underwater pressure rated "can" lights or light housings?
Mine took on some water during the test. Amount of light was great, just need better housings.
Thanks,
