Where innovation meet practicality. The 10W HID lighthead provides divers with a nearly indestructible lighthead that can be adjusted from laser-like beam to a diffuse soft light with a mere twist of a dial. More light output - Whiter light - Longer service life
Proteus 3 / 10W HID

HID lighting has several advantages over conventional halogen primary lights. The amount of light produced is greater than a standard halogen bulb, while consuming less power, and more closely approximating the color temperature of natural daylight.  
 
Although it produces 5% of its output when first ignited, the HID light requires a few seconds (usually 15-20) to come up to full output. Also, if power to the lamp is lost or turned off, the arc tube must cool to a given temperature before the arc can be re-struck and light produced. Halcyon HID lights only require a brief (15-30 second) cooling period before they can be re-lit.  
 
To keep the canister in its place in the harness use a weight belt buckle. See Scubapro Nylon Buckle

More Light Output
 
The 10 Watt HID produces 500 lumens, and thanks to its true 6000K color temperature it appears as bright as a 55 Watt halogen bulb when in use.  
 
Whiter Light
 
The color temperature of HID lighting more closely approximates the color temperature of natural daylight than does a halogen system, which appears yellowish in comparison. The 10W HID light produces a light with a color temperature approaching or above 5000K. A white light has a perceived brightness which may equate to the higher stated efficacies-- ie., although an HID lamp might have equivilant lumens as a higher wattage halogen bulb, the HID will appear brighter and more pleasing to the eye than the output of a halogen lamp.  
 
Longer Service Life
 
An HID lamp will last, on the average, 3 to 5 times as long as a halogen bulb. In normal use, your Halcyon HID bulb should last beyond one thousand ignitions.
