I built 3 lights, each with different bulbs, however all of them used a rubber coupling/clamp on the end and no silicone whatsoever. very easy to change bulbs, and have had 0 issues with them. That being said, I used a regular round headlight high beam bulb, and 38 and a 55 watt 12V landscape lighting bulb. I can say that the headlight bulb was much better than either landscape bulb. We did use both the headlight version and the 55 watt one for roughly 5 hours, we used 2 batteries, however we never did kill the 1st one, just swapped em as a precaution before we ended up in the dark after leavng the boat. Ill try and get some pics of them today or tomorrow.

I have a source on Ebay for 12 volt 120 LED light strips that are submersible / waterproof. If they were rolled into a flat circle I wonder how they might work for a flounder light?? The strings cost $9.99 including shipping. 2 strings could be connected together to make it 240 LED's.

Who's interested in an led flounder light that runs off batteries and will out perform any 12 volt battery light set up? I make these, they output 300 lumens with a single super high intensity led. Runs off 4 AAA batteries. Submersable up to 5 ft. Bulb never gets hot so you don't have to worry about bulb popping. Can be used in or out of the water. Entire light is 1 inch PVC. Hauling around a 12v battery is heavy and unnecessary. LEDs are the way to go. Who's interested? Message me for pics
