  Tom, I have two, but they are both nicad and custom built by Arnold. Ny two 
lead acid lights were made by Bill Gavin. I basicly require that the light
plugs 
itself in when the lid is in the position where the cord protects the switch 
(which is on the inside, cord through the middle), that the bottom be recessed 
into the tube, that the switch also have its own protector, that it turn on by 
flipping forward, not backward or sideways (so that my backuplights or anything 
else will hit it towards "on" rather than "off"), that the connnectors are low 
resistance bannanas, that the wires are 12 guage and soldered everywhere, that 
the switch is a certain kind which I get from Skipper Electonics in
Gainseville, 
that there is only one o-ring and it is a face seal to insure extrusion of the 
o-ring on explosion or gas buildup rather than facefullofshreddedplastic, that 
the cord and o-ring are matched perfectly, that the fittings are stainless 
steel, that the cord is exactly the length from the top of the light on my
right 
hip to my outstreatched left hand, and that the case balances excactly by 
positioning the belt loop (which is sewn) on the canister properly, and I use a 
3500 Kelvin 50 watt 1400 lumens  bulb . Other than that, nothing special. I
have 
not put much thought into lights, obviously - I am waiting for Dive Rite or 
Chris Brown to tell me how to do it.
