    Sealing a Maglite C cell

    I would use JB Weld and just seal it with it. Once the hole for the gland is in, you can use that to run the wire in and out, do your soldering and then use the gland as your cap. I tried to use the C mag but ended up doing that as I too could not find o ring

    Canister Dive Light

    Head O-rings are the same as D. The tail is the issue as I have not find the proper o-ring for it. Recommend JB welding the tail shut as you don't need it top thread off.

    Muck Cutting Dive Light

    Probably go with something in the 1000 lumen range with a Cree XML with tight beam. If you go too bright you'll get a bunch of backscatter.

    Using a cheap Chinese bike light as a canister light head?

    The problem is finding the O-rings that will seal tight. There are so many sizes out there that it can be a challenge. Can be done but may be a pain to get it to work. Then there is the lens, the light may not have a thick enough one.

    Advice on how to rebuild broken DIY HID torch, i.e. go LED or stay HID?

    A buck driver like a Taskled H6CC or H6Flex can take up to around 25 volts and step down to the LED usable voltage so the battery pack can still be used. If more than about 4 LEDs are being used in series a boost driver like the HBFlex can also be used.

    Update on Boroglass fromTLS Lights

    Yes, 52.5mm. At 5mm thick I remove right at 1.85mm of the head's threads to allow for a very small gap between the bezel and head.
