halcyon canisters

[scubajohn921]

i dont hear much about the halcyon canister lights though i see many if not all dir divers using them, i seem to hear more about greenforce than halcyon, im thinking about a proteus but i dont hear many reviews from the "boots on the ground" so to speak, who's using one and whats so great about them?

Salvo is also popular among the community. Their quality is great. Might want to check them out as well.

I have 2 of the H lights and couldn't be happier with them.

I have a Halcyon Helios 10w, and I Couldn't be happier with it. I had the cord replaced under warranty recently, and the service has been outstanding.

I've got the Helios 10w light as well. Mine is the focusable enclosed head design. It's decent. The bulbs are extremely fragile though. I went through two in less than two months a couple years ago. I've been extremely careful with it since and have had no other problems with it. One minor annoyance with the light is the reflector though. It's not shiny anymore and has a tarnished dull finish which probably affects the performance somewhat. Knowing Halcyon's prices they probably want $50 or more for a new reflector.:shakehead

Thats odd, I have the focusable head as well, and I have had zero issues with the refector. The bulb died (after many dives and many hours), but it didn't break. It would flicker a bit, but it would never completely strike. Fragility has definetly not been an issue with my light.

I also have not had any charging issues, which some people complain of. I am very satified with my light and the service form Halcyon.

I've got an Explorer 18W that is absolutely amazing. It's like having the sun underwater with you!
