i built mine from PVC, here are a couple of pics

the bowl is a shower drain i picked up at Lowes, removed the grate and ground out the posts for the screws, it was the most expensive piece at $9. The light is a high beam round I picked up at Autozone for around $6-$7. my only regret was using the 1 1/2" pvc for the body, made the light heavy after a few hours of holding it. i put in a lighted toggle switch in the handle so i could turn it on and off at will without having to unhook it from the battery, pvc glue it all together and lay a bead of silicon around the seams and light and your good.

I got the idea for my light from here, a good source for building a light and a rig

i have a pair of lights mounted in styrofoam that appear that they float on
the surface. never used them. would love to go with someone and learn how to use them. as a suggestion to the heavy hold after a few hours, maybe consider a mount on boat with a sliding lockable collar . seems like it should work. ideas don't always work but it may help.

You can buy something similar to JDR's rig at Academy.
