RCD Super-8 (Alkaline 8-cell)  
RCD HR and SUPER-8R (Rechargeable)  
Accepts eight D-cell batteries,  
alkaline or ni-cad.  
The RCD Super-8 features the super intense 10V halogen  
lamp producing an incredibly bright penetrating medium  
spot beam intended primarily for underwater use. Alkaline  
batteries provide 15W initial intensity and 6 hours of high  
intensity light. Consumer ni-cads reduce the intensity and  
burn time.  
Ultra-intense rechargeables. The RCD HR features a penetrating 19W beam while the  
Super-8R provides 25W intensity. Both run for 1.25 hours per charge. Industrial grade 5Ah ni-cad  
module produces considerably more power than consumer ni-cads. Not intended for extended  
use above water.

Note the recharge time referenced above. When using the  
110/220V charger #0083.9, place the charger's voltage selector  
switch in the proper position.  
Recharge the ni-cad module in or out of the light. Indicator  
light on the module shows that a charge is being accepted;  
it does not go out once fully charged. DO NOT continuously  
charge the ni-cads longer than 24 hours unless using  
Smart Charger.

Recharge the ni-cad module after each use; DO NOT fully  
discharge. Definitely recharge the ni-cads if the light intensity  
dims; the batteries are nearly depleted. Fully discharging  
the ni-cads will shorten the battery life.

BULB #0042.58 REPLACEMENT _________________________________________________  
Make sure the bulb is cool. Remove the batteries to access the bulb holder. Squeeze the ends  
of bulb holder and remove. Tip the front up and drop the bulb into your hand. Place the new bulb  
IKE8 #0042.58 in the front and replace the bulb holder (orient it either way).  
BULB REPLACEMENT___________________________________________________________  
Use 4.7V bulb #0040.18 for the RCD HR and 6V bulb #0040.20 for the Super-8R. Make sure the  
old bulb is cool. Remove ni-cad module to access the bulb holder. Squeeze the ends of bulb holder  
and remove. Insert new bulb in the holder. DO NOT touch the bulb because of the oils on your  
fingers; use a soft cloth or tissue when replacing. Light intended primarily for undewater use.  
In an emergency, use a common PR-size bulb approximating 10V.

INTERCHANGING MODELS  
INTERCHANGEABLE HANDLES  
RCD H and HR  
Only the Super-8 and 8R feature interchangeable handles and both the lantern grip and pistol  
grip handles are supplied. To change the handle, access the screw underneath the locking lever by  
first sliding the locking lever out and then flip the lever up.  
The HR front head assembly is modified for the rechargeable light which means it is NOT  
interchangeable with the 4-cell alkaline version RCD. Only the body assembly is interchangeable  
between the H and HR models.  
Remove the screw and washer and then slide the handle out of the body. Slide the other handle  
into the groove and secure with the screw and washer.  
SUPER-8 and 8R  
NOTE:  
Ikelite's black vinyl lanyard is NOT recommended for use with RCD Super-8/8R. The vinyl  
The Super-8R front head assembly is modified for the rechargeable light which means it is NOT

mixture to escape.

2. The inner ledges of the lite body and front assembly are the sealing surfaces. DO NOT allow  
these surfaces to become damaged.  
3. Keep the o-ring and sealing surfaces clean. DO NOT stretch the o-ring when cleaning. It is not  
necessary to lubricate the o-ring. Never use spray lubricant because it will cause cracking of  
the plastics.  
4. Occasionally clean the metal contacts for a better connection.  
5. The front head assembly has been factory sealed; DO NOT disassemble.

DO NOT use batteries that have been wet; batteries from a flooded lite should be discarded.  
Water could create an internal short circuit at some later date causing a potential explosion. The  
normal evolution of all batteries is emitting hydrogen gas. This gas must be absorbed or allowed to  
escape to prevent ignition of the entrapped hydrogen/air mixture. We suggest storage of your lite  
open to allow any hydrogen/air mixture to escape. A hydrogen absorber has been concealed inside  
this lite and should NOT be removed. In case the lite floods, install a new hydrogen absorber in the  
spare bulb holder and replace the batteries.
