Wet Connectors for Dive Light

[coldsmoke]

Hi all,

I am looking for a source for wet connectors similar to the one in the link below but less expensive. I just can't see paying $70 for 3 feet of SO cord and a plug. Surely there is a cheaper way to do this.

Ideally, I am trying to find a plug or pigtail to fit the wet connectors that DiveRite uses, but if I can't find the same perhaps I can rig something up.

Thanks

Hunter

You mean E/O connectors?

yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Is there a place you can get them that aren't so expensive? $50 for cord is a lot. Especially since I can get it at the hardware store for about $3 (not including the connector). Perhaps the connectors are really that expensive.

Those kind suck. Impulse connectors are better.

Yes they are that expensive. I bought impulse connectors for my suit heater and I dropped about $140 for two sets.

Well, I really don't need the connector. It's for a light and I can't imagine that I am going to swap heads enough to make it worth it. The reason I am trying to find the connectors is because I don't want to have to tear into the ballast box for the light head. Anyone know how hard it is to get into the ballast box and deal with the potting material of a DiveRite HID head about 5-6 years old? I don't know the model number.

Thanks.
