Tektite H2113 Seeker light?

[LKunze]

Yeah, I have a Halcyon 10 watt focusable HID canister light.   I did go through two HID bulbs within a few weeks apart.  It was my error though, I banged the light head a bit.  The Welch Allyn HID bulbs are extremely fragile and you have to be very careful with them.  It really doesn't take much to ruin them.  Both times mine went bad were from falls of maybe 2 and half to three feet to a hard surface and that was enough to do the bulb in. If you get a light that uses Brightstar bulbs though those are much more durable.  Since being more careful I haven't had any issues with my light and the bulb in my light now is probably 3 years old.  I haven't really used it much in the past three years though.  I'm guessing it probably has less than 100 fires on it so it should be good for quite awhile.  LED is much more durable than HID too if you go that route though.  I have yet to see an LED that puts out a beam that throws as far as HID does in the water which is why I never bothered to switch to an LED primary light.  LED is the way to go for backup lights.  I currently have a couple of the Intova 4.7 watt Cree narrow beam backup lights.  They put out a nice beam for a backup.  They even work adequately as a primary in some conditions.
