[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED Lights

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

My three words of advice...cost, cost, cost.

One measure of a success for this project will be how many people 
actually build/use it.  If it costs more to manufacture than just 
purchasing something like

off the shelf then it's real world application by psubbers may be limited.

Over-spec'ing the design above requirements for typical recreational 
operations (ie 10,000 psi capability) is likely going to drive up the 
cost.  Also, let's remember that "cheap", "low cost", and "good price" 
are relative terms for a diverse group like PSUBS so include realistic 
estimates of parts and manufacturing especially if tooling is required.
