<div>Most electric actuators are ip65 or ip66, so they can be sprayed with water. You can get ip69 rated so they can be submerged is all. I am making a version that can handle 500 feet without extra compensating. The actuators will be under a constant internal pressure all the time. The internal pressure is not to prevent leakage but rather to reinforce the light body. I will put one in my chamber and see if the internal pressure is actually needed. I am just planning ahead and expect to add air.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

The electric version. Anyone know if they'd be water proof at depth?<br clear="none">
