[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED light bar

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Hank,there may be problems with putting the electronics in the sub, aswith the motor controller battery to speed controller wire length. Ken may know.I opened up a couple of my led flood lamps last night & found they had the capacitors.People have warned me about them crushing in the past, but what psi they can takebefore failing I don't know.I know they had oil compensated led lights on the Nereus that could stand the pressureat 6000 meters. (Nereus disintegrated at depth last year)Alan

Alan,
Hmmm maybe I should remove the electronics and put them inside the sub.  I thought Alec was doing the same thing, just flooding the whole light.

 Hank,the led
 electronics I've looked at in some of my
 lampshave
 electrolytic capacitors in them, which can crush under
 pressure.So
 "if" it fails at depth this may be a heads up as
 to why.Alan

 Success, my new light bar is installed and full
 of oil.  It was remarkably easy, the end caps come off the
 bar and are quite heavy, so tapping a 1/8 pipe thread was
 easy.  I filled the light while the end cap was off then
 reassembled it and topped it up through the hose fitting. 
 I have a p trap line (1/8 nylon)  and the whole conversion
 takes less than an hr.  The light works just fine, maybe
 not as bright as my halogen lights but much easier on
 power.  The light runs on 10 amps at 24V. 24,000 lumen
 Hank
