Then place it in a bag of rice for atleast a week. After that you will be good to go most likely. Link to comment

I told him to put it in a bag of rice for a week and it works perfectly now. Link to comment

makingfilms Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 update! Lucky for me I live in Los Angeles! A friend of mine who I surf with almost every morning is a camera tech at a major movie camera house. His job is to fix high tech movie cameras all day. This am, I told him what happened and he said he could dry it out for me, As he regularly fixes cameras that get water damage. I gave him my light in the bag of rice this am and have just received a text that it works like a champ and I can pick it up whenever. Thanks every one who helped. And these lights are incredible and now proven durable, but don't drop them in your tank. Link to comment
