Where do you get light cannon replacement bulbs?

[wolfpack]

my dive shop wants to charge me 80 dollars, can I buy them cheaper anywhere else?

Unfortunately, these bulbs are VERY expensive, they are only made by one company who sells them in batches of 100 at a time. If you do a search on Light Cannon Bulbs you will see that we all share your pain.

How often do they need replacing??? I've been considering purchasing this light... and if the bulbs are $80... and it needs replacing every 10hours of burn time.. FORGET IT....

mine basically had 20 hours on it and poof, its gone

It's not just he Light Cannon that has these expensive bulbs - it's any and all HID dive lights.

The bulb lasts a long time - I want to say somewhere around 1000 hours is the estimated burn time on them.

If you take care of the bulb and treat it the way you need to - don't drop it, bump it, hit it or turn it on/off repeatedly without waiting a few minutes - it will last a long time.

Yeah it sucks when you borrow a buddies dive light and drop it.

What really sucks is you don't have
________YOUR OWN light!
What really sucks is if you are good enough to lend your light to someone and they give it back in disrepair:upset:

I guess it's all in the perspective!
