Same bulb, but it will not last as long due to the initial stress. The pack is 23 amp hours at a one hour rate - it will pull a 50 watt for more than five hours, like having two of the regular packs, and it is only 1/4 inch wider and 1/2 inch taller. Scuba Pro makes a pack and charger that wil work in the wreck version of the light, but then it costs $900. My 23 light costs about 1,800, including charger On Tue, 15 Oct 1996, Dave Mabry <dmabry@mi*.co*> wrote: >George, > >Do you use the same lamp on your nicad version as in the lead-acid one? > >What is the amp-hour capacity of your nicad version? > >Thanks. > >gmiiii@in*.co* wrote: >> >> Tom, I have two, but they are both nicad and custom built by Arnold.
