Aaron,

Yes, the EE light comes with everything you would need. I recommend that you
invest in the deluxe field repair kit also, then you have everything to
replace any components on the light (except for major components of course).

If you are thinking about the Pro24, just bear in mind that it weighs over
20# dry and -7# wet. Do you really need anywhere close to the 5-hour burn
time ? And if you don't dive DIR, I think it would be a nightmare to handle.
I have all 3 sizes, and honestly, for everything except the deeper dives,
the Pro6 is very nice: compact, -2# wet, ~1-1/2-hour burn time w/ 35 watts
or 1-hour with 50 watts. But if I only have 1 light, I would go with the
Pro14 (-5# wet, 3-hour burn time)

The burn time on the AUL100 should be comparable to the Pro14 since they
both have 14-amp capacity.

The price for the EE light is higher than AUL, but like everything in life,
you get what you pay for: lifetime warranty on the canister and lid, smart
features, etc. The first time you break the canister from another brand, it
won't seem to be such a bargain anymore :-)

I only have started to use canister lights since last summer, and I will
never use any other type of light for any purpose anywhere anytime anyhow
:-)

Good luck,

Phi
