Hi,
I recently went on a night dive in salt water, and the one of the tank lights (2 triple-A batteries) that I had recently bought flooded. I noticed it when I was washing everything post-dive. Oddly, the light still worked with the water in it !?!
Anyway, I dumped the batteries and rinsed it with fresh water. There is some corrosion on the light bulb section, but the rest of the light seems okay. Is there much that I can do to clean the o-ring and verify that the system is water-tight? Or should I just toss it and buy a new one?
Will holding the light underwater in a sink for a few hours be an adequate check?
Thanks,
