Abstract:
An underwater light comprising:a sealed housing defined by a rigid portion and a flexible portion, said rigid portion incorporating a window for permitting the passage of light therethrough; a light source mounted in said housing for directing light generated thereby through said window; a power source mounted in said housing for generating electrical power; an open electrical circuit coupling said power source to said light source, said open electrical circuit including spaced-apart terminals for preventing said electrical power from being delivered to said light source; one of said terminals coupled to said flexible portion of said housing and aligned with another of said terminals, wherein flexing of said flexible portion into said housing causes said terminals to contact one another wherein said electrical power is delivered to said light source; and a non-compressible dielectric fluid filling said housing.
