My guess is that Ikelite et.al. is a big enough co. that they can afford to
have another co. -or themselves- make specialized molds so they can form
Lexan in they shapes they need. They also sell alot more housings around
the world then EE and AUL. Remember, the canister light market is probably
a *very* specialized one and a very small one. If they couldn't use "off
the shelf" parts these lights would cost alot mote than they do now. Of
course this is simply my interpretation. Perhaps Barry Miller, or someone
from AUL would like to comment.
