    Default 18W Halcyon Pro 6 **** SOLD ****

    18W Halcyon Pro 6 complete WITH a spare 18W bulb. The bulb is well over $100 alone as most of you know. Cord was replaced by E.E. about 1 year ago. I'll throw in an extra battery as well. $550 + shipping or pick up in Luraville.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    The light "may" be sold Sunday, waiting on the buyer to come take a look but anyway.....
    It's a Halcyon Pro 6 light head and canister, hip mounting. Purchased late 2001, has original bulb in it.
    Never any water intrusion in the light canister or light head.
    I will include the charger, and extra battery and an extra bulb. The bulb is brand new, never touched.
    Batteries get a little over an hour burn with the 18W head...sucks the power down.
    Shipping will be $$$$ with all the weight of the batteries.
    The cord was replaced because I used to pull the extra cord down tight through my waist band forming a tight radius in the cord at the light head. Doing this before every dive eventually broke a wire in the cord...at least that is what Extreme Exposure told me probably happened. I guess they see this quite often. So now I don't tuck light cords in my waist band am always trying to be aware of nice "loopy" bends in all my cords.
    Hope this helps.

    FYI, the batteries should get at least 2 hours on an 18w head. An option for whoever buys the light is to get some NiMH batteries made for the canister. I made up some for mine a few years ago, and ended up with 16ah batteries(as opposed to the 6ah lead acid) in my Pro-6. This gave nearly 8 hours of burn time on an 18w. Overkill, yes...but I could do 2 or 3 long dives a day without changing batteries. I now use a homemade canister that holds 9ah NiMH(similar in size to the Helios 9)...that Pro-6 is just too big for sidemounting.

    My 18w bulb just went Tango Uniform on me, so I've got to buy another....and for those of you considering buying this light...the bulb alone is $180-200...so this is a hell of a deal for this light especially considering it's got a spare bulb.

    Just found out the guy looking at my light turned it down, he needed more burn time out of the batteries. Soooooo, still up for grabs.

    I've heard the term "missle silo" used to describe them.
