Thanks Jack/ Rick. One very happy customer here!

Though I've not got one of these and probably won't (already bought some backups) I must say they are very nice. The build quality and ease of disassembly is really good.

Thx Roy. Rick is in Dottie this weekend, should have some in water pics to post.

Excellent VID looking forward to seeing these pics. Used a Heser on dark 30m wreck in Dublin bay and was very impressed with light output. No piccys tho.......

Has anybody looked at comparing the Heser, Halcyon LED and Phill's LED setup. I'd be interested to see if there are many differences.

AFAIA, the Heser select LED heads are superior to the mal LED heads in light output. Best way would be a side by side in water comparison. If any of you guys get the chance to run with this, I would also like to see results.
I`m thinking the Heser will come out on top.

Just pray you never flood the Heser. Because the Heser LED ballast isn't sealed, it will fry the moment it floods. That's why Halcyon went with a sealed unit.

Best,

At the cost of much crappier performance.

I don't know who Phil is but a comparison between the Heser, Halcyon LED, and the MAL has been done and posted on this forum just last month.
