light output.  Please do not attempt to disassemble the light head.  Do not 
remove the glass lens or tamper with the LED module or electronics. Taking 
apart your Eos will void the warranty and may damage the internal circuitry of 
the LED module.

Eos LED Light Head

The Eos features two attachment locations for bolt 
snaps.  One on the light head which is similar to the 
21 and 50-watt HID light heads.   The second tie-off 
point is cleverly designed as a Halcyon chevron and 
is located on the Goodman handle.

Video Light heads

Halcyon's Apollo series are available with dual/single lamp HID and HMI 
light heads. Dual head Apollo systems are ready for mounting on housing 
arms with standard hardware. The HMI lamp is truly an underwater motion 
picture studio lighting instrument, with output exceeding that of a 1,000 watt 
halogen burning at a solid 5,600K.

Halcyon Bulb Replacement

21 watt HID Bulb Replacement

Should the bulb in your Halcyon 21 watt HID light become damaged, it can 
be easily replaced by following these simple steps:
1. Remove the Goodman handle and reflector assembly from the light head.

2. Carefully remove the bulb cover (test tube) from the slug assembly. Pull 
the cover straight off; a twisting action is more likely to break the glass tube. 
It is advisable to use a protective barrier such as a leather glove or heavy rag 
to protect your hand from a possible break in the glass lamp cover.  Be espe

-

cially careful with the HID bulb as care needs to be used to prevent breaking 
the bulb.

3. Visually inspect the bulb (HID) for damage. To remove the bulb from the 
ballast assembly, unscrew the bulb retaining ring. Be careful not to drop the 
bulb as the retaining ring is taken off. When the ring is removed grasp the 
lamp base and remove the bulb from the socket.

4. Open the package containing the new bulb.  Grasp the bulb base and 
insert the bulb into the socket. Replace the bulb retaining ring, finger tight. 
(See Figures 1-3) Do not overtighten.  

5. Wipe the bulb assembly O-rings clean with a cloth.  Wipe out any moisture
