Hi Doug,
Good idea, but remember ALL epoxies yellow with UV
light and heat accelerates this process. You would need to make sure that the
epoxy boes not get into the intended light path or you will have rapidly
declining performance.
Just my two cents.
Best Regards,
Jim K

You can buy
the individual leds and solder them up into big arrays. Then flood with
mineral oil and use a good acrylic lens.

Do you want to be
able to leave your lights on when your out of the water and not smell the
wonderful small of melting acrylic? Do you want to save more battery
power for your thrusters, and windshield wipers. If so here is a 6,000 meter
depth rated option. That depth should cover most the subs in are
group. ;)'

LED lifespan

Oh and by the way, Deepsea Power and Light
20are sponsers of the Deepsea Voyager Project, so it would be nice to give
them some business.
