This is normal and purposely designed to protect the LEDs from being damaged by excess heat buildup while running in air. The light will return to full brightness once it is submerged in water or it’s allowed to cool down. This thermal rollback will not happen when light is being operated in water under normal usage. WARNING When the Nano SeaLite is operated in air the body may reach temperatures in excess of 65° C. These temperatures may be enough to cause burns if the light is handled without protective clothing.</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_4680"><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">Alan</div></div><div> </div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_4833"><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_4832"><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_4831"><div align="center" class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;background:white;"><hr align="center" size="1" width="100%"></div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><b>From:</b> Hugh Fulton via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br clear="none"><b>To:</b> 'Personal Submersibles General Discussion' <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> <br clear="none"><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, July 26, 2015 12:34 PM<br clear="none"><b>Subject:</b> Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] LED Lights</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5427"><div> </div><div id="yiv2708224838"><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5426"><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5425"><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">40 degrees gives you 30 degrees</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5424"><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">120 degrees! gives you 80 degrees</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5429"><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">It doesn’t matter whether acrylic, Glass or borosilicate with flat planes.</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5432"><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5431"><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">The only reservation on my lights is that I have not done a lens for the seawater to optimise angles etc. Also my reflector is round with a square LED.</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5433"><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">Looks great in the swimming pool at night but as I haven’t dived it I have no experience as to how it will look in the sea.</div></div><div id="yiv2708224838yui_3_16_0_1_1437872182587_5436"><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;"> With a really compact light and 94 watts of heat it is not going to last long in the air.

On the new boat I am designing, I am planning a FRP recess so that outside of the flange is flush with the outside of the FRP shell. Would still need to cut a hole were the body passes through the FRP shell. Yes this does reduce the convection heat transfer from the light but I was thinking of leaving say a 3/8 clearance around the recessed flange. I don't see any problem with either approach to sealing on a MPB by using a neoprene flat gadget.</div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;"> </div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">Cliff</div></div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;"> </div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">On Fri, Jul 24, 2015 at 3:58 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:</div></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;border-color:currentColor currentColor currentColor rgb(204,204,204);"><div><div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">Cliff,</div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">I was thinking of fitting the light in to a bowl shaped</div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">recess in the fairing / ballast tank, whereas you were proposing</div></div></div><div><div><div class="yiv2708224838MsoNormal" style="background:white;">cutting a hole out & fitting it in.
