Abstract
In one embodiment a deep submersible light includes a substantially spherical exterior housing made of metal, the housing having a hollow interior and a first aperture extending through a front side of the housing. The first aperture may communicate with the hollow interior of the housing and an LED may be mounted inside the first aperture adjacent to the hollow interior of the housing. A transparent window may extend across the first aperture, and a seal may be situated between a periphery of the window and the housing adjacent the first aperture for providing resistance to the entry of water into the hollow interior of the housing. An electrical connector may be disposed on an aft section of the housing and may be configured to be readily field serviceable. The light may further include an internal water barrier between a connector wiring area and an inner driver element of the lighting element.
