Hi everyone! Avid diver here experimenting with backup canister lights for fun. Thanks for an informative and thought provoking forum!
Tried to search the forum but found no posts, perhaps someone could direct me if this has been discussed in the past.
Has anyone thought about using standard water filter housings as canisters for dive lights?
They are rated 10 bar, the ones with clear plastic seem to be rated 1-50 celcius and it says "protect from frost", so probably the plastic becomes brittle with cold, but maybe the ones that are not clear? Seal the holes with jbweld or other plastic or marine epoxy, and put a glands on it? what do you think?
The white one, fourth from left on the top with the screw down nuts looks interesting.... and they are under $60, with most under $30.
