I'm interested in some better lights. I've seen the Dive-Rite catalog, but
I've got some motocycle battery sized gel cells and a bunch of 3/4" lexan I can
build housings out of. Anybody have any experience with using or building this
kind of lighting system, with batteries located separately from the lights
themselves?
	What kind of bulbs do you use? I'm rechargeable, but I want more than
an hour of burn, so I'm thinking of only 40 watts or so. Still, if you know of
big sealed beam headlights that can take pressure, I'm interested.
	I want to mount the lights on a helmet, I think, better to look into
my buddy's eyes. Not sure about back or belly mounting the battery. Anyone
ever try clipping a small knapsack or fanny pack on the front of your bc like
a kangaroo? I'm tired of dragging gear. Right now I don't feel good about
getting near wrecks or fishing line, but I do better in kelp than some of my
friends.
