I took advantage of some Black Friday deals to upgrade to my first canister light (a Light Monkey 10-32VF). Since it arrived in a simple cardboard box without any accompanying case or manual, I had a few questions for more experienced can light owners about how to protect and maintain the light:
1) How are you transporting the light to/from dive sites? I used to carry my old light in a salt-stained backpack alongside some other potentially damp items like my compass and backup computer, but I'm not sure if that still makes sense now that I have all this extra hose to deal with.
2) Apart from regular pre/post-dive maintenance (fresh water rinse, o-ring lubrication), is there any sort of additional regular maintenance you're supposed to perform?
3) Are there any recommended procedures for storage? (eg. keeping the battery mostly charged vs discharged, etc)
4) Any other general tips?
Thanks!
