I have an LED dive light that flooded. Dried it out. Changed batteries. It is not working. Is there something else to do or am I out of luck?
 
It could be fried, or maybe it could still be a bit damp. What methodology did you use to dry it out? Complete disassembly involved?
 
LED lights are not just a light bulb like the old days. There are circuits in there that if some the contacts touch each other, they could be effectively short circuited which salt water could act as.
 
Flooded light = paperweight, except on the rare occasions that the Gods intervene.
