The reliable time-tested design of Dive Rite's light canister incorporates several important features,
including:
- Canister -- The SlimLine canister is machined from a solid block of Delrin.
-
Mounting Hardware -- Canisters come equipped with two stainless-steel hose clamps and a nylon
webbing loop. This enables you to attach your canister to weight belts and tank straps, and to BC harnesses
whose waist straps are equipped with 2.0-inch webbing.
- Canister Latches -- The locking latches are used to help prevent the accidental opening of a latch
under water. By opening these latches, you can quickly access the battery and wiring harness.
- Wiring Harness & Plug -- The battery attaches to its wiring harness, toggle switch, power
cord, and light head through a quick-disconnect plug. You use this same plug to connect the battery and
charger. When doing so, the design of the plug helps prevent you from accidentally reversing polarity.
- Canister Lid -- The canister lid contains the canister O-ring, toggle switch, boot and switch
guard. The O-ring is what keeps the canister watertight. The toggle switch is a special, environmentally
sealed unit. If any hydrogen gas escapes from the battery, the toggle switch does not ignite it. The switch
guard helps prevent the accidental switch on/off of the light head.
- Power Cord -- The canister lid power cord has been selected to stand up to the rigors of
underwater use. There are sealing glands that include strain relief at both ends of the power cord. These
glands help form a watertight seal where the cord enters the canister and light head.
The actual close up of a canister lid shows many of the features illustrated in the line drawing. In the

boot, switch guard, sealing gland with strain relief and power cord.
