Will a 10 watt HID cut it in NoCal?

[astrofunk]

I bought a new/used Salvo 10 watt fixed focus (Fixed focus doesn't bother me) for diving the North Coast and it works just fine.

The Salvo 10 watt fixed-focus I'm thinking about looks like it comes with a soft, strappy handle -- not a goodman handle. Is that what you have? What do you think about the handle?

The handle is the strappy handle. I made the mount solid using cave line so it would not pop off the light head, as it did a few times when I first started using it. The strap vs the goodman does not make a difference to me and I have used both. I could easily make a goodman for it though in the future.

Is that easy to do? I see goodman handles sold under "spare parts" over at Extreme Exposure. But I'd be worried about compatibility between Halcyon and Salvo light heads.

It is when you have the tools and material in your garage. :cwmddd:
