Halcyon LED Scout & Mini-Scout Lights
When Halcyon decided to develop its LED Scout, we knew that
it wasn’t enough to rush a product to market just to
be among the first. Although some characteristics of LED
lighting are immediately attractive, such as long burn
times, extended service life, and a bright white color
temperature, we had never been impressed with the
LED’s ability to provide the focused beam that we
want out of a back-up light. Early attempts at LED backup
lights were excellent at close range as surface signaling
lights, but at a distance or when signaling a buddy during
the dive, the existing LED technologies fell well short of
our standards.
Our search for a focused LED has paid off: the new LED
Scouts provide the light output to equal or surpass the
traditional Scout with a tightly-focused beam. You'll find
the same Scout reliability, but with a bright white beam
that has all of the benefits you want from an LED bulb.
Halcyon's unique LED assembly can be driven by both 2-cell
and 3-cell battery configurations. The LED Mini-Scout
provides an astounding 7 hour burn time; the 3-cell Scout
provides approximately 30% brighter output, with a burn
time of 5 hours.

At the core of its LED system, Halcyon uses a completely
sealed bulb and ballast. While other manufacturers uses LED
bulbs with exposed circuitry that will be damaged by
exposure to moisture, the Halcyon LED assembly is sealed to
provide maximum protection against the environment. Not
only is the unit sealed against the elements, its bulb is
rated for 10,000 hours of continuous use. Halcyon
Manufacturing has licensed Tektite Industries’ U.S.
Patent No. 6,168,288 for LED flashlights.

Scout LED Upgrade Kit
Halcyon LED Replacement AssemblyLED bulbs are revolutionary
in their ability to withstand shock and emit a strong light
source with minimal power drain (about five times the time
of a halogen bulb). They have a remarkable lifetime,
lasting more than ten years while burning continuously.
However, most LED lights are ineffective at projecting the
light over a distance sufficient to make them useful while
diving. Halcyon’s high power LED bulb provides as
much light as 10 common LEDs. The patent-pending design
directs the light so that it can be projected by the
reflector in a tightly focused beam. The Halcyon LED
replacement module will fit all existing Scout lights as
well as the 2 cell Mini-Scout.
