[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED lights

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Rick,You can keep it real simple and just buy water proof lights (LED) and oil fill them.  Just inspect the light to make sure you can drill and put a filler plug in.  I have great luck with a 24,000 lumen light bar.   I am actually buying a clear acrylic cylinder to put my light into.  Alec has had luck with this also, maybe he can suggest the particular light to use.Hank

 I have been experimenting with my LED exterior lights which is a field I know nothing about which makes it even that much more frustrating and wanted to get feedback from those who have had success so far using them.
I was planning on using incandescent lights but everyone I talk to say that LED is the only way to go. I guess my reasoning for staying with incandescent was that it was a no brainier for me but I liked what I heard about LED. I initially figured that if 10 lumans is good 10,000 is much better but I am finding out that once you get up to that high a luman, a lot of things kick in that you have to deal with!
I also am thinking that I can probably get away with a heck of a lot less lumans due to the visibility that we have here in Hawaii so maybe all I need are 5,000 luman lights which put out a lot less heat and don't have to deal with some of the issues that a 10,000 luman light would.
All input appreciated!In the dark in Hawaii! not to mention fake missile alerts!!
