Excellent concept as ever- looking forward to this one! btw most of us want to go back to noobie finding we are competing against you!

I love him squashed into the aquarium- great story.

I like the extension cord idea, you could also make the lamp charge him for only a certain amount of time before running out, as a safety feature (every beast should have one, think how much comfortable life would have been if the Incredible Hulk had learnt yoga). For longer missions perhaps remote light sources could be placed in advance (like sticky cameras in Splinter Cell).

This will be great!
