Backup Lights

[Tekkie]

Hey,
I was wondering for you people who don't want to pay the extra 160.00$ for the Halcyon Scout Backup lights what do you use? Like OMS or something?
Thanks

$160?? that is not the pricetag that i saw last. Or is that the price for TWO of them?

 

[Tekkie]

Thats the price for two of them I think. There 88$ ish for one of them right? So around 160 for two.

What you do is spend $100,000 up front and open a dive shop and become a Halcyon dealer. Then you can get them for a little over $100. See you save about $50. You should have seen the deal I go on a wing.

Who in their right mind would spend $100,000 opening a dive shop

Well,
I was looking at something more like this:

Maby the Tektite 50, only 26.00$ on Leisurepro
http://www.tek-tite.com/LED_Light/led_light.html

Or

Maby the Tektite 300, only 51.00$ on Leisurepro
http://s1059kxm.leisurepro.com/weba...6&cgrfnbr=972&parentCategory=965&sort=prsdesc

I figure that LEDs can provide 1000's of hours of light and LEDs rarely break from shock. The only draw back is that they don't provide a huge amount of light, but why do you need so much light shouldn't these lights be used to get out in an emergancy. That is just what I was thinking. Please correct me if I am wrong, I am trying to go DIR.

Thanks for all the help.

I have the oms back up and not very pleased with it. So now I am in the market for another back up light. Someone suggest the ikelight pc. Any comments?

I actually found out about these in a post here in this forum:

Two for $51.36, including shipping. They work great and fit perfectly out of the way on my harness, just like a Scout!

Well, for an inexpensive solution, it's hard to beat the Princeton Tec 40.

I don't have one, so I can't comment on their quality or bulb/battery life, but they're rated to 500' apparently.

I have one Scout and one Canadian Extreme.
