Got a MB SUB halogen 50watt hand held on my bench for repair/conversion at present.
Have not seen one before but what I find interesting is that it has wet plugs for charging. These lead into the unit and go directly to a bridge rectifier ( even though the charger is DC).
The result is that you can connect the charging leads to any wet plug and there is not feed back of current from the battery when the light is submerged.
I had though of this before but wasnt 100% sure if it would work.
If its good enough for MB SUB then its good enough for me!
Cant see an OPV in the light though so I am unsure what happens if the NiMh cells off gas when being charged.
