Claudia, I have three 'transparent' canisters. Guess what, they are all EE lights, two pro 14s and a pro 24. I understand that they no longer make them out of acrylic. I still prefer acrylic. If your light got toasted by salt water, then you should have definitely replaced the cord. Even if it isn't the source of the leak, if it has had saltwater in it it is ruined and is bound to fail. -John On Mon, 8 May 2000, Claudia Milz wrote: > John, > > > Have you already replaced the light cord? > Nope, guess that is the way to go.
