The canister is configured for attaching to the diver's waist belt. The unique
three-fold webbing attachment on your Halcyon Light is held in place by
two stainless steel bands. The three-piece fold holds the light with more
stability than conventional methods, and prevents the light from accidentally
releasing from the diver's hip. The steel bands can be raised or lowered on
the canister to balance the light on your hip; the canister should rest parallel
to your body when mounted on your harness.
Delrin Canisters
Halcyon canisters are milled out of a solid rod of Delrin. The one-piece
design ensures a structural integrity not found in any other available dive
light. Delrin shares the same characteristics of industrial metals such as
aluminum and stainless steel. Some comparable properties include stiffness,
dimensional stability, impact resistance, and structural strength. Material
operational temperatures range from 180° F (82° C) to -100° F (-73° C). The
one-piece Delrin canister is virtually indestructible under normal usage.
Although the canister itself can withstand depths of over 3,000 feet/909
meters, the maximum recommended working depth of the Halcyon Explorer
line is 300 feet/90 meters. All Halcyon lights feature high quality nickel plated
brass fittings and stainless steel locking latches.
Halcyon lights use a lid-integrated set of plugs to connect to the battery pack.
Simply line up the plugs with the gold-edged receptacles on the top of the
battery pack and push down until the lid rests on top of the battery pack's
delrin cap. The lid can be rotated 180-degrees and plugged into the "dummy
holes" on the battery cap so the light can be transported without a "hot"
connection. To charge the Explorer, Eos or Apollo battery, firmly secure the
charger's plug into the gold-edged receptacles on the top of the battery pack.
Always charge your battery with the pack removed from the canister– the
charger plug will not fit on the battery pack when it is still in the canister.
Halcyon Power Systems
Halcyon carefully selects from among the finest batteries available, to
provide enhanced performance and reliability for our lighting systems. Our
Explorer and Apollo NiMH battery packs provide extended burn times with
the advantage of dramatically reduced size over that of a sealed lead acid.
High quality batteries typically result in the maintenance of longer burn
times over the life of the battery. Burn times for Halcyon's lights are listed in
Appendix A
.
Battery Care and Maintenance
Rechargeable batteries can release small amounts of combustible gas that
can become dangerous in a sealed environment. The release of gas is more
prominent while the batteries are being over-charged or deeply discharged.
