Hi.
   On Ebay i have found an inspection/camping/waterproof /led torch for £5.70, inc p/p.
and it fits in the nose cone of the thunder neptune a treat.
just glue a metallic washer onto the end plate of  the w.t.c. attach torch, switch on attach nose cone
and thats it!!!!
I carried out a water proof test, submerging the lit torch, in water for 25 mins, and it was still working at the
end of it. Only snag was it had ingested a small amount of water in the battery compartment, but it was still working.
im sure it can be proofed against this. someway.
the bonus is, for owners of the neptune, that three leds in the end of the torch match the top windoe perfectly
and the 27 leds in the front still show out of the front .
it is both powerfull and as if made to fit.
Ebay workshop lights, (bargains world 6933.
good service, and well wrapped.
well worth a look.
Cheers  John.W.

Watch the weight when adding stuff like that in the nose cone, you may have to compensate by adding blue foam, otherwise you'll have a nose heavy boat.

Better to put the led's behind the front watertight bulkhead, that way you don't have to worry about messing up the subs balance. Remove the LED board from the bulky case, you could also power the lights from the main battery, through a voltage regulator.

Also if you have or are thinking of adding a camera you will get serious reflections off the clear nose....
