Mercury in-your-fish light
|
If you wondered what happened to all the leftover Regent 175w mercury yard lights, perhaps here is the answer. Here you see the Regent lamp, photocontrol, a home made ballast box with GFCI cord and watertight socket - something that could be built for less than $75 in parts if purchased at retail prices. But these lights sell for $250 and more! Notice the lamp is not enclosed. Found at: www.underwaterfishinglights.us, www.underwaterfishlight.com, www.greendocklights.com, etc (several similar versions).

I have a 1940/50s Osram GEC Special Diving Lamp which was used by the Royal Navy, the lamp has a 1mm thick glass bulb it is designed to operate with direct contact with the water, and withstand up to 1200ft depth which is about 600 pounds per Square inch of water pressure.
All the Best
