Its a very poor design and i think = Halcyon should know better. It turns out they know all about the problem = yet they go on selling them. I expected more from them. The problem is = that on a HID any drop in power drops the light until it can be reset = which can take a min of 15-30 seconds. Even a slight tap or twist at the = E/O will drop the light. You really don't notice it with standard = halogen bulbs. EE suggested i hit the connector with a rubber mallet, = this works for a dive but you never know when the blackout is coming. I = will go back to a standard cable or consider a more reliable E/O.
