If/when the floodlight is switched to use base power, it would be nice if you could still use it out in the field.
So, how about a handheld device, that you can load with batteries or power cell (why not either?) and deploy on surfaces. It then beams power to deployables, better range and capacity if you use a cell over a battery. Floodlights and light sticks, perhaps other stuff?
And for a secondary function to make it more useful, if you deploy it near a base, it could have a secondary function of recharging the players equipped item while they swim near it, at the cost of base power.

In experimental
Solar powered floodlights are probably not the best idea ever.
