    Reworking older canister light

    Just got home late last night from a 4 day excursion. We dove 2 days on the Suwannee and another dark Florida River. The light on the very first dive was skeptical. I had no idea of it was going to flood on the 30 foot depth. As I approached the bottom I shined the canister and it was still bone...

    Reworking older canister light

    Yall teach me something. Im listening. The light is a great light. If I drop or current beats my LED light head around can I lose lights? If I do this after I traveled 300 miles iwth the one I have I just replace the bulb. Thats a concern. Water I dive is turbulent and a lot of banging...
