These lights sound pretty bombproof. I'm not as handy as some of you folks, and while I'm certainly not made of money. . .like many folks pushing 50 with kids, I've got more money than time. I think I'll buy one of these and then post a review. The heck with building my own, Pro Watt's price is too compelling. . .not to mention my homebuilt won't have a warranty

Hi,
Actually, to my knowledge, no one has done a review on Pro Watt lights. Pro Watt has been doing business for 9 years. It was originally started by Ed Paradiso of Blue Grotto Dive Resort in Williston FL. I purchased the company from Blue Grotto three years ago.
The canister is injection molded and is made of Norell, with 30 % glass. This material has a strength rating of 1500 lbs. per square inch. The canister can be dropped on concrete without damage. I give a lifetime warranty on the canister. The light head is precision machined from a solid block of aluminum. The lens is double oring sealed. I use Olflex wire to the light head. It is a molded jacket cable. Very thick and durable. Cable seals and toggle switch boot are double sealed with 3M5200 marine seal. It is the best marine sealer I have ever found, and is designed for constant, below the water line use. I assemble and test each unit myself. One year warranty on all materials and workmanship. Lifetime warranty on canister. Repairs are returned three working days after receipt.
If you are in Florida, diving the springs, I have free demo units available at Blue Grotto, and Paradise Springs.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Dan Fisher
