John,

> Have you already replaced the light cord?
Nope, guess that is the way to go. Several people suggested it could 
be a puncture or scratch.

Have seen those with sandwiches in. Anyone who takes fruit in there? 
It would be bio-digestable. 
Just kidding.

> you did buy a new light. EE makes a great light.
Can leak as well. I really like the transparent canister, esp. for 
saltwater, where it really matters. We do a bubble and a light 
check (if water is in canister) prior to every dive at the surface. 
So, only if I got myself an HID, I'd consider buying another light. I 
would not want to E/O connector and that way I'd have a spare.

The whole problem started when the light cord got shortened. The lid 
didn't close fully anymore and saltwater gave it the rest. The light 
was completely toast. Now almost everything is replaced, but 
obviously the light cord got damaged more than one would imagine.
