HID 18 W vs. 10W Comparison

[Uncle Pug]

I dove with a fella using a Halcyon 18w and the Halcyon reflector and didn't notice a big difference between that and my 21w with the EKPP reflector.

Seriously, I have new Helious 9 18 W and the light head looks just like the EKPP. Do they make them for Halcyon?

No... Halcyon just copied the EKPP and extended the hood. Look at your reflector... it has a number three stamped on it. The EKPP reflector doesn't.

I mean a little 10w with the genuine EKPP blows the Halcyon 18w away!

Ben... seriously... I'm just running my stick along the cell bars of the all those poor souls imprisoned by the need to have *the* latest~n~greatest / brightest~n~best.

Grrrr - I was looking at snaffling another stealthdive canister before they close down, and putting an 18W head on it, but when I read that comment about the EKPP I was thinking that maybe a new reflector is all I need. Will be doing some cavern/sinkhole training over here in '05 and wanted a bigger light.
