[PSUBS-MAILIST] Emer Buoy brake and clear resin

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 I don't know anyone who has tried it. The biggest concern I'd have would be clarity and how much light was absorbed by the thickness of silicone required to seal the components. Frankly I've never looked at a thick segment of silicone grease to see how transparent it is.

Apart from the heat issue with epoxy it also has a shrinkage factor to consider that could affect its ability to bond to all of the surfaces in the light... Has anyone considered Dielectric silicone for this application?

 Just finished testing a second LED light which I filled with epoxy only enough to cover the diodes and other electronics. My light meter shows a 10% output increase over the fully filled unit, however to my eye the two appear almost exactly the same. Both units utilize the reflectors that came with them.

Here's the link again to the brand/model I have tested.
