HID 35W (DIY project) with separate ignitor and ballast

[Marek IdŒkowski]

Hi everybody
I am building my dive light (lighthead + canister) based on 35W HELLA car
kit with d2s bulbs.
Can I separate ignitor and ballast with 1,3 meter (4,3 ft) (on expand)
spiral cable (3 wire x 0,75 mm).
I am planing to put ignitor in to lighthead and ballast with battery pack in
canister.
Is it safe for electonic pars of ballast?
I have heard that sparks between wires in long cables can damage sensitive
electronic ballast's parts.
And what about high voltage for human life in sea water during some accident
(flod, etc.) of headlight.
