No enough of a difference to be in play!

Hum depends on were he is diving ;-) and the importance of signaling
I believe the new Halcyon Helios 10 watt lighthead uses an integral ballast
and lamp socket like the Sartek 10 watt head I have.
There are two versions of the 10W Halcyon � with the compact 10 you can not
change the slug U/W unless you have huge pockets ;-)

------------------------------------------------------
I'm considering getting a Halcyon Helios 4.5 canister light ($887) but I
would like to know if the Helios 9 ($1,367) is really worth the extra money.
I recognize it may depend on the type of diving and intend to use it
mostly for ocean wrecks/light penitration (but not planning on cave diving).
Thanks for any advice in advance,
Dave Swift
