Helios 4.5 Case

[wetman]

Hey all,

I bought one of the cases for the UK Light Cannon 100s and it certainly saved a fall or two in its day.

I just got a Pelican 1400 for the Helios 4.5 and thought i'd show a few pics of how it fits.

Thats a really nice set up. Its gonna take a heck of a lot of abuse to break your light in that. I think i might make me one for mine now

Added a spot for the buckle keeper and a boltsnap.

...the canister is probably tougher than the Pelican case

The lighthead could definitely use the protection though.

Looks sweet. Do you have a spot for spare o-rings, bulb, etc... I have heard of people using the small otter boxes for that stuff.

Very nice

Well, the o-rings, a spare couple baggies, some qtips and a few other things i actually put above teh lids padding and just replace it - seems to fit well. Will have to find a good place for a spare bulb when the kit gets here. that may actually go nicely right beside the head or even underneath it at the front (theres lots of space still underneath things that you cant really see from the pictures).

After taking it out last weekend, i've started wrapping the canister head in a baggie just to keep dust and gunk off the o-ring.

Nice. Thanks. Was thinking of doing the same thing with my Pro-14 for travel.

Gotta love the pelicans. Use them for all my light, computers and cameras.

Thanks for the sizing info for the Halcyon lights.
