How Do I Take Care Of A Flooded Light?

While Halcyon has spent years refining its lighting systems to make them as rugged as possible, sometimes there’s just no stopping Murphy. Perhaps you didn’t notice that someone dropped a tank on your light cord when you were loading the boat, causing a break of the water-tight seal. Or you forgot to replace an O-ring before the dive. Any way it happens, a flooded light can be cause for great anxiety. We asked Halcyon Tech Service’s Corey Smith to put together a list of instructions for how to deal with a flooded light to prep it for return for repair:

1. Remove the battery from the canister and dry it as much as possible.
2. Even if the flood was in salt water, do not rinse off any component with fresh water—it will only cause further damage.
3. Remove the bulb and gently towel dry.
4. Dry the underside of the lid.
5. With the 10w HID, remove the front glass lens and the bulb and dry all external surfaces.
6. Dry off the inside of the canister.
7. Do not disassemble the unit other than the bulb removal.
8. Keep the battery separate from the rest of the components—specifically with saltwater damage, do not put a previously-flooded battery into the canister and latch the lid.
   

Return all components (including charger) to your Halcyon dealer for repair. If you do not have a local dealer, you can contact Halcyon's tech services department directly via email for instructions on returning the light to the factory.
