DIY Custom Canisters

[divepapi]

I recently bought a lathe and have been making some canisters to sell for DIY project lights. These are full Delrin custom turned units with Agro glands, Nielsen Sessions latches and Anderson connectors for battery pack. If you have priced this stuff, you know this isn't cheap!!! They are built to hold 6- 18650 Lithium Ion batteries. The 18650 are rated at 3.7 volts and 2400mah. These can be used in series to direct drive an SSC P7 LED. I have done this on many lights without problems. You can also build a battery pack with 18650 in parallel/series config and use a driver.

Please note that Dive Rite and Salvo (no longer around) canisters will set you back $200 plus shipping. Also, it takes many hours to machine these canisters.

The canister on the right, I am selling for $75 as it is my first one and has some production mistakes that in no way hinder its performance.

The one on the left is the full production model with almost perfect features and I am selling for $100.

I also have a 6-18650 battery pack with charger that I will sell for $75.

These prices are all shipped and PayPal fees included.

Any questions feel free to ask. I will be making light heads and taking custom canister orders.

Dive Rite is in business and building lights... Salvo was going to open under the Laviathon name, but from what I have read, not going to happen.

What are you making the light head out of? Do you have a complete set up? Also, when complete show the light. Last but not least what would b a complete price to sell a functioning light. I use a Diverite mr2 10w. I have some friends that like canister lights but like the ecomony is money is a issue. Let me know. By the way great job.

Here is the light head. It will be made out of aluminum. I still need to thread the pieces and fiot them together and machine some metal off to reduce weight. I hope to have a complete unit late next week. I expect the price for a complete set up to be around $400.
Thanks
