As new canister lights are wicked expensive the thought of making my own appeals to me. I know there are many threads on this topic. In thinking about this I have just about made up my mind I can do it. The one thing that I was unsure about is the light cord penetration of the lid.
DOES THE CORD PENETRATE THE LID OF A HALCYON LIGHT?
I love Halcyon products. I use it as an example because it is what I want to copy. I would love a new Helios light. Just dont want to spend that much money on a light. I have read about magnetic switches and had an idea for a light cord that didnt penetrate the lid. That way the only way it could leak is from the o-ring seal.
Heres my idea, if its not already done. Machine a lid. Lid will have a threaded contact. The light cord is attached to a threaded end with a contact at the end. This is sealed by a double o-ring. This serves two purposes.
1. Seals out water.
2. Keeps it tight.
What do you think about my idea?
