I would MUCH rather have a halon gas extinguisher than the nasty ABC dry chemical ones. As somebody who has used both CO2 and ABC Dry Chemical extinguishers several times each, I can say that the chemical ones are really really awful. The powder will sting your eyes and burn your throat, it will choke you and it will not be pleasant. I have used them in fairly open manufacturing environments with pretty good circulation and it was bad enough there. I would hate to have to use one in a room the size of a bedroom. Even in a big open basement it would be pretty bad. They are more effective at putting out fires than the CO2 units though, at least the fires that I have put out. I've had one fire where there was something basically hotter than its own flashpoint. I could hit it with the CO2 until there were no flames, but as soon as I took it off the thing would just re-ignite. It took a dry-chem extinguisher to put that fire out. Much like CO2, halon is residue-free and is also unlikely to put out certain extreme fires like that.the marine system was under $300 and covers 3000 sq feet...it's meant for an engine room area and uses some type of new halon type gas.
