I am wanting to make a canister light. Battery pack on the BCD / tank and a remote hand mounted torch.
I think I want to use one of those universal delrin battery housings that I've found on this board. I want an on / off toggle switch on it.
I've been doing research on my LED's, and I've decided on the LED Engin LZC 4000K 700mA 42v 1850 Lm.
I'm stuck on finding a driver for it, however. Would yall be willing to help?
I'm going to be using a 15* lens with this. I'm going to lathe out some 2.75 Al bar stock to make the housing, mount the LED to a copper slug and tight tolerance the slug to the housing for thermal transfer. do some funky wavey pattern on the outside of the housing for increased surface area and aesthetics.
I want to mount a PCB on the inside behind the slug to hold the driver / circuitry.
Here's the tough part. This LED has contacts to light different "rows" of LED's, which could be used as a 1/2 on dimmer. How do I make a water tight switch on the hand torch to select off / 1/2 / full? Or howabout 1/2 being selectable, and full on with a submersion detector, so that you can't burn out the LED by turning it full on in air?
I'm going to be modeling this all up in Pro/e before I do any actual production, so I'll be posting screenshots as I go.
Thanks in advance. Let me know if I need to clarify anything.
