Does anyone know if the bulb in a light cannon would fit a helios 4.5?

Are nimh batteries no good for that bad boy? I have no idea.

Spout your words of wisdom.

I don't know if I'd call them words of wisdom....

But I don know that UK sells a rechargeable battery pack for their lights, so I don't know why you wouldn't be able to use regular rechargeable batteries in the light, as along as the output of the batteries was within range.

Did you ever have a problem with the light using just batteries before you bought the re-chargable pack?

Those little pellets are in a lot of lights...exactly what they're for I don't know...

They absorbed hydrogen gas. Keeps the light from literally blowing up in your hand.

There is a thermal fuse in the LC100 here are some pictures of the ballast taken apart.http://www.candlepowerforums.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB7&Number=256046&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1

If the thermal control was triggered, could that make a sound?
