I've been thinking about making a dive light for a few years now but always had to much on the go, now my work has slowed down and the major reno's to the house are done so I figure I will take the next several months to configure and design several underwater ONLY compact 26650 wide angle video lights for my Go Pro camera. I have so many questions with only assumptions for answers So any help would be muchly appreciated.
With that in mind I have a questionnaire for all if you don't mind.
Buy all parts separately from different manufactures then assemble it myself?
Buy all parts from the same company and assemble it myself?
Buy all parts from the same place and have them assemble it? or Have them partially assemble it?
In your opinion what would be the best driver for a single XM-L2 U2 1X 26650 underwater ONLY light?
What modes should it have? Start at 100% then 65% then off.
Regulated output? ....Yes
What degree would be best for an Hero Cam underwater video light..... Mule
XM-L ....XM-L2 U2
Color temperature of the LED?....5000K
Double O-ring on the tail.....Correct and this would be the only way to get in.
Actually I'm thinking of only having the tail cap screw off, bonus would be the spring from the tail cap will hold the battery and LED module in place, if ever dropped the spring could dampen the blow.
It would also be easier to replace the "Drop In" and there is a much less chance of water entering the body. Sounds too good.... whats wrong with this idea?
What are some features you would like to see on a compact 26650 underwater video light?
