5. Most lights become quite hot under normal operation and rely on the surrouding water to provide cooling When an underwater light is burned in air the resulting heat buildup can pose a fire hazard If the light is operated for testing purposes in air be sure to let it cool down for a couple of minutes before immersing it in water It is also a good idea to turn the light off a few seconds prior to removing it from the water These precautions minimize the thermal shock on the pyrex dome thermal shock is a rapid change in temperature which can cause the pyrex to crack If a certain application requires the light to be operated in a wet dry environment DSPL recommends using lamps of 100 watts or less Extreme caution must be used when handling lights burning in air due to the high operating temperatures Deep SeaLite User Manual 6 19 02 5 Deep SeaLite Quality Control Procedures This section is included to provide an understanding of the quality control process that each Deep SeaLite is subjected to After assembly is completed each Deep SeaLite is electrically tested with the Meg Ohm tester to verify that the socket wire insulation is intact and that there are no short circuits between a power lead and the metal light body Each individual lamp is also tested for short circuit between the power leads and the lamp base The connector is then checked to verify that it 1s firmly secured to the light body Before installing the lamp the li
