I just finished my canister light project:
- 4 x Cree R2 in series
- Reflectors + optics
- Back 1000 mA driver
- DIY 14.8 V LI-Ion battery
- 3 inch Schedule 80 pipe canister
- Modded 3D Mag-light head
All works as exected on my desk. Now I need to depth test it. I'd like to get to my max depth plus 10-15% or 150 ft at least. Here are the ways I thought about:
- Go diving: eazy, but can't test on the max depth.
- Tide it a 150 ft rope and lower it from the boat: I don't have a boat.
Any other thoughts?
