I've been testing and diving with the new OrcaTorch D630 while catching California Spiny Lobster at the same time. Very sweet light. Here's my detailed review:

Nice video and review!
 
Thank you @Rick_C I have the 620 and have been happy with it.

If it is not too much trouble ...

I'm trying to find out the inside diameter of the lower can housing where the main section of the battery pack is (not just at the rim where it screws in.)

Does the bulk of the battery pack fit "tight" to the housing? If so, could you measure the diameter of the battery pack (at the main, thinner section)?

Thanks!

It looks like the outside diameter of the battery pack is about 1.881"

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Now to see if my concept is workable ...
