Need some help getting the right LED light for a project.

[Travis Watkins]

Okay guys so I'm making a custom light base for an application and I need an LED light that is flat, waterproof, RGB, and has a changeable battery, pretty similar to this one except I need it to be waterproof.

Any ideas/recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

A changeable battery and a waterproof case are somewhat mutually exclusive (not impossible, but possibly rare). Look at something that is designed for illuminating pools, that should be waterproof, shouldn't it?

Some Otter boxes may be small enough to house a battery powered light.

If you need to immerse the housing, you can add lead weight strips and fill the box with hydraulic fluid or mineral oil to reduce buoyancy and prevent compression. The oil is not harmful to most electronics.

Also you could investigate inductive charging.

Hmm interesting, thanks for the feedback Inductive charging could be an option as long as simple to do. I'm thinking the LED unit in this cup could work if the batteries are changeable the only problem is I can only find the cups and not the single unit LED light base, anyone know a LED light similar to the one in the cup? http://www.custom-product.com/wholesale-items/323/337-1/flashing-led-cups-61269.html
