Dive Number 3. TR DF-003.
I got my replacement O-Rings from Nowell's Ebay sale.
Replaced the tail and forward body rings.
The replacements are much nicer O-Rings than the originals. Better fitting, not as stretchy.
I took it down to 90ft. Vis was in the area of 50ft. No leaks
.
Still experiencing the shorting problem so I switched to high mode on the surface by holding the light up and out of the water. I left it on high for the duration of the dive.
In the video that's my buddy's GreenForce 900 lm light in some of the footage.
When diving I don't see all of the backscatter that you see in the video and the hotspot in the center of the beam is exaggerated on the closer shots by my camera's exposure settings.
Despite the problems with the switch or lack of a switch actually, I remain impressed with the light this thing generates. It is very bright!
Rookie alert:
I've never done any mods on a light so I have no idea where/how to start.
I'm hoping there is some way to change out the tail or maybe drill it out and install a switch.
Any way I'm going to hang on to this light just because of the reaction it gets from other divers. I love that.
