A drill- some mineral oil& a few minutes time. Tested to 60 feet or
so. [he showed his depth watch- I forget what it said]






I thought it was a slick idea as well, pardon the pun. Did you notice
the instantaneous brightness of each light followed by a somewhat less
intense level of lighting with each light he tried? I've never noticed
that with an LED light before.


I believe the change in brightness is due to the camera automatically
adjusting the brightness for brighter conditions.
