I've blown out the fuse on my Light Cannon on my last 2 dives. The light went out after 37 minutes into my dive on Friday, then 32 minutes into my dive on the following night.
An inspection of the light revealed a blown fuse each time. But, the Light Cannon was completely hosed after the second time it went out...it would not work even after replacing the fuse. My Light Cannon has been working fine on longer dives with alkaline batteries, and it's been working fine for about a month on shorter dives with the current NiMh batteries.
Has anyone else had a similar problems with NiMh cells? I've had no problems with the shop swapping my broken light with a new one, but I'm reluctant to put my rechargable cells back in.
I've been using eight OEM 1.2V 4.2Ah NiMh cells that have been working fine in other lights manufactured by UK.
