You'll find everything you need to know to build your own light in "The Divelight Companion" available from

www.airspeedpress.com

Padipro's website has a huge amount of information but not a lot of blueprints.

(By the term blueprints I assume you mean actual drawings).

Since most people customize the designs to suit their needs, there is a lot of variation, making it more difficult to make drawings. For example what type/capacity/shape of battery did you have in mind ? A lot of people (myself included) use NiMH but there are plenty of others that use SLA. The shape of the battery has a big effect on your final design.

If you are looking for detail drawings on how to build a specific part, ask here. I'm sure someone can help you out.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but the plans are pretty detailed:

I haven't built one yet but it is next on my list after a video camera housing.

I used the Dive Light Companion and built 2 canister lights they work great and didn't cost me $600 either...

I just finished building mine and it works great. Cost was around $100.

Here is the directions, photos and parts list:
