I thought the reason I flooded it was that I hadn't put the top on correctly, so took it diving this weekend in the sea. The bloody thing flooded again and it was definitely all put together right as a I checked it twice.
Seawater was in if for possibly the whole day as I only realised when I got back to the harbour and unloaded my kit (it worked fine on both dives ????). Now all the connectors are corroded, the bulb has water inside it (and probably blown) and the wires look distincly oxidised.
I was planning to send it back to Halcyon (via UE in Portland) for a fix - does anyone know how much it may cost and whether it is worth it? It's the cheapest 10w HID at around £300 and I've had it a few years. As well as the knackered components there is definitely a leak somewhere that has nothing to do with user error.
Are they going to charge me more than the torch is worth? Is it worth getting a new one and having the non-corroded parts as spares? Or do I upgrade the latest and greatest Salvo 21w  |
Do you really really need us to tell you what to do, you knackered it over the weekend and wait until Monday to ask this lot what to do, you know what to do dont you, yes you do, give Phil a call.
