almost anything can be done. a custom built light built th 300 feet will cost you some serious $. the wise led would probably be cheaper and it is tested. it would be a bummer to get a light custom built and have it fail on your first dive trip. but, throw out a price range, battery type, length, material, and ??? and we will see what we can do for you

Hi zifnab69,
If around 3500 Lumen is enough take a look here: tauchfunzel.de
But you have to build it on your own. ;-)
cheers,

+1 for the wiseled - I don't think you will get one made cheaper (that I would trust at 300")
Once the buyers remorse wares off you get what you pay for in a wiseled - I have one and they are really good.

It can be done...I'm building a similar light at the moment. It will have 1500+ lumens, be safe to 90 meters depth, and have 3+ hour burntime. It won't be finished for a while though and it will cost c. 300 euros. I would not bother having someone design and machine it for you as it's too expensive. Buy a light housing, battery housing, and umbilical cord from here

but you still have to assemble the electronics yourself...if you pay someone to do that for you I think you might as well go and buy a complete light from Greenforce or Metalsub.

Thats the coolest light yet!
Lots of people wanting to see the multi P7 lamps and the Germans have already done 4 OSTARS!!!!:twothumbs
On that note, I am always surprised I dont here more about the OSTAR here on CPF.
If we are talking about dive lights I think the difference in terms of performance is negligible, however there are more important issues to consider when you choose your led. The Ostar is more expensive than the p7 for a start, and it requires a higher drive voltage than the p7 - c. 21V vs 3.7.
This might make the Ostar difficult to drive in a small, hand-or-helmet mounted dive light whereas the p7 might be more suited to this role. The Ostar would be well suited to larger hand-held lights, or canister lights. If you want simplicity then you can't really do much better than a direct-driven P7. Reflector choice and availability is also a serious consideration. The new Cree MC-E's should be worth a look too as you can individually address the dies and so increase your drive options. Not sure if they are going to be as bright as the P7 or Ostar for a while though..
My recommendation is to start by deciding on the specification of your light and then choose the led to suit.

Hi,
regarding overall lightoutput there is no question - the ostar is much brighter than the best P7. The P7 may be easier to drive directly, but in a tank divinglight with many P7 parallel the ampere consumption is so high that the 1 m cable is a too big energy killer!
btw, surfinsmiley, this light was published here on the CPF over 1,5 years ago! It´s quite an oldie regarding LED development
But it´s still the brightest LED divelight I´m aware of ;-)

Hello all.....
i need somebody to make me a diving light. i know now what i need......
its to replace these spotlights
Bersub HID 35/50W and Bersub HID 25W
I need something equivalent 50w HID with leds. (3000 lumens)
The difficulty..... 6 Atmosphere of presure....... mini
thank you
( 10W HID give something like 600 lumens)
