[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED light bar

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

I have, and so far so good with a caveat. I have two lights. They both
still work well after a year, and have been to 250 feet. That said, one of
them replaced a little of the oil with fresh water on the last outing. I
think the problem was where the cable enters the housing, because it got
severely pulled sideways (light snagged in tow line). These are really well
made, but even better would be a light like you say with a part can be
pulled for drilling and tapping. Hank, do you think there's enough space to
install a proper electrical penetrator? I would love to get rid of the weak
spot factory cable seal.

Thanks,

Alec
