Had a lovely Kowalski 100W light for the last 18 years but now sadly need to replace it with similar high-end alternative.

Does any manufacturer still make lamps with wet-contacts?
So genius to not having to open the canister each time to charge and to mess with O-rings and stress about leaks or maintenance...
 
Each lamp you can add wet contacts - it is only type of switch.

Wet switch is connected parallel to normal switch.
(it should open light in case that original switch is closed on deck and accidently fall into water )
Best contacts - SS bolts

simplest way is to use so called '' flood detector circuit'' on 12V DC like

LD12 - Water/Flood Detector - www.audon.co.uk
https://www.amazon.com/GRI-2600-Volt-Water-Sensor/dp/B001DVVJIW

to DIY Simple Water Detector Circuit

( on output you need relay , not buzzer or speaker

Thanks. I think I'm looking for more off-the-shelf kind of already smart product from a reputable brand.
 
UWLD Gen5 canisters don't need to be opened to charge. They have a little cradle and you plonk the can into.
