Alec,
By the way, you are a bloddy genius! you have taken a costly and important component and found a way to make it  simple and cheap .  Well done and thank you!

 I have,
 and so far so good with a caveat. I have two lights. They
 both still work well after a year, and have been to 250
 feet. That said, one of them replaced a little of the oil
 with fresh water on the last outing. I think the problem was
 where the cable enters the housing, because it got severely
 pulled sideways (light snagged in tow line). These are
 really well made, but even better would be a light like you
 say with a part can be pulled for drilling and tapping.
 Hank, do you think there's enough space to install a
 proper electrical penetrator? I would love to get rid of the
 weak spot factory cable seal.
 Thanks,
 
 Alec

 Alan,
 
 Hmmm maybe I should remove the electronics and put them
 inside the sub.  I thought Alec was doing the same thing,
 just flooding the whole light.

  Hank,the led
 
  electronics I've looked at
 in some of my
 
  lampshave
 
  electrolytic capacitors in them, which can crush under
 
  pressure.So
 
  "if" it fails at depth this may be a heads up
 as
 
  to why.Alan

  Success, my new light bar is installed and full
 
  of oil.  It was remarkably easy, the end caps come off
 the
 
  bar and are quite heavy, so tapping a 1/8 pipe thread
 was
 
  easy.  I filled the light while the end cap was off
 then
 
  reassembled it and topped it up through the hose
 fitting. 
 
  I have a p trap line (1/8 nylon)  and the whole
 conversion
 
  takes less than an hr.  The light works just fine,
 maybe
 
  not as bright as my halogen lights but much easier on
 
  power.  The light runs on 10 amps at 24V. 24,000 lumen
 
  Hank
