[PSUBS-MAILIST] SeaQuestor wing lights.

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

David,
I am waiting on some strip lights without any housing to see if I can just
Embed them in epoxy. Don't know whether I will use them but everyone else
is playing around with them & they are cheap.
I used silicone in one light housing oil compensating experiment. Worked fine
but didn't try it for long.
Something that won't yellow with the heat!

Turns out the main board is one giant circuit board glued to the aluminium housing. The refectors are plastic with a mirror coating. The exterior lense is just a cheap polycarbonate sheet that scratches really easily, and is held in place by 28 screws. But the entire surround is anodized aluminum. Good news is the main power wires can be easily removed and replaced with a core wire encased in rubber. So i plan on using the subconn connector and plug combo. Tomorrow I will be ordering an acrylic tube as the enclosure with solid acrylic end caps.  The main question is what oil to use. I plan on putting each unit in a vaccume to draw out all of the air before sealing the unit with a plug. Any recommendations?
