FS: Two Dive Rite HID Lights 24W & 10W

I have two lights that I am no longer using, that I would like to sell while someone could still get some use out of them.

24W HID

I have a 24W Dive Rite HID that was originally a Dive Rite 21W HID with the ballast in the light head, it was upgraded to be a 24W under warranty after two ballast failures. The light head is mounted on a Wreck Canister, which houses a 9 Ah NiMH battery pack. Dive Rite charger is included. I did a burn test a few weeks ago, and the battery lasted 3 hours and 3 min down to 10 Volts without a light flicker. Photos of 24W are attatched.

10W HID H1 style (adjustable focus).

This light is also mounted on a Wreck Cannister, but this light has a 4Ah Gel Cell battery. The charger for the 10W HID light died and I never replaced it as was able to use the charger for another light (not included).


The lights are in great shape.

I am asking $400 for the 24W HID and $200 for the 10W HID or $500 for both.

Hi Keith,

I'm interested in the 10W HID. Just wondering how long a burn time the 4Ah Gell Cell battery has?

Thanks

This post has been up for almost twelve hours and I can't believe that 24w is still available at that price. I have the exact light and love it. I believe it retailed for $1,800.

If I didn't have a bunch of "travel expenses" coming up I'd get this for a spare.

I will get a burn test and photos added Wednesday evening.

I'd like the light. Sent pm. I saw it and decided best to sleep on it.... great price, I agree, but money is tight these days, and I have a fairly new 10w led... but dang, for that price I can't say no. hope my pm beat out others.

Skip, if you wake up feeling really bad and guilty about your purchase, let me know. I will relieve your guilt and give you a refund.

Ok, I'll let you know. 400 is a good price, but it's going to cost me at least half again if not twice as much. I try to get a bit of jewelry for my wife about the time I'm expecting another visit from UPS! It's been so bad this past year or so, that she's now telling me she needs a larger jewelry box!

24W HID sold. Payment recieved.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.....applies to spending in marriage for sure. Not always equal, though!

and on top of equal reactions we get learning. like pavlov's dog, jewelry now signals more dive gear!

Skip, you need to get to know your UPS man, and work out a deal for him to deliver your packages to a discreet location...

yeah, i've heard that one before...but you know i'm one of those guys that can't lie or refrain from honesty. My wife would see it in my eyes if I didn't break down and confess beforehand. then I'd feel so bad she'd get a new jewelry box AND a full load of jewels in it to boot! Plus I'd be so broke I'd not be able to buy dive gear for a year! no, i'm afraid my childhood training thoroughly ingrained the notion, right or wrong, that honest is the best policy. And it's worked pretty well so far. I've a garage full of dive gear, the spare bedroom full of gear, and the sunroom. She did make me promise before our marriage that I'd not make her live in a dive shop! And every once in awhile she reminds that our house looks an awful lot like a dive shop.... then I remind her that we don't sell retail!

"If honesty's such a good policy, how come I'm out a cap pistol?" - Opie Taylor

reminds me of a one-panel cartoon I saw the other day....a marriage counselor with a couple leans over and whispers, "being a good actor is a fundamental necessity of a good marriage."

Photos of 10W.

Completed two burn tests on 10W with Gel Cell battery: 2 hr 3 min and 1 hr 57 min

The burn times are disappointing - I had been using this light head with the NiMH battery that was sold with the 24W light. A new 9Ah battery can be purchased from batteryspace.com for about $100.

Lowering asking price to $150.

Both lights are now sold.

Thanks,

Keith
