Perhaps it is possible at the surface or shallow but may be difficult or
impossible at depth considering pressure acting on the light lid. In
addition there is not much time to deal with the whole procedure and
dropping light is a last resort after trying other things (weightbelt
ditching or drysuit inflation etc) at which point adrenaline is high and
cost of the light should not really matter. If you turn the light on before
ditching there is a good chance it can be recovered.
