Halcyon: Explorer Lighting Systems

Halcyon's Explorer and Proteus lighting systems set the standard for underwater illumination. HID, halogen, and HMI lamps can be matched with any application, while a wide variety of canister/battery configurations allows you to dial in your system to meet the demands of any diving environment:

Gold-plated auto-plug battery connectors

Halcyon o-ring sealed, gold plated connectors provide a superior connection while eliminating the risk of water intrusion. The Halcyon autoplug design also provides an easy, one hand plug operation while reducing wear and tear on wire attachment points.

The competition uses inexpensive plastic connectors that are prone to breakage; these connectors are also less secure, encouraging a weak connection. In the event of cord or o-ring damage these connectors will also transport water along the cord. A common failure of conventional designs occurs when divers separate these connectors and accidentally damage the connection to the battery and/or lid.

Light signals can be an important means of communication because they work in a variety of situations and are especially effective in gaining a team member's attention. In dark surroundings, individuals can easily communicate with their lights over large distances. Even in close quarters light signals may be preferable, especially if divers are not facing one another. Many open water divers are starting to realize how lights can simplify communication and enrich a dive. Divers frequently use light signals over hand signals because they are:

Easy to see
More efficient to use
Effective at much greater distances
