Unless you use lead shot in the epoxy it won't make it much more negative.
And if you make the light 20lbs negative then you will have to figure out if
the strap will hold the thing. I agree with George, don't mess with a good
thing.

And BTW Paul, the reason the light is 8lbs on the surface is so you can have
a nice bright light which burns for a long time underwater. A EE light is
not a tech diver fashion accessory like a helmet or jersey reel. You did buy
it with the light head, didn't you?

And why do you have a belt, are you using AL80's and a wetsuit?
