That's the conclusion I've reached as well, after looking into the 
volume in the canister and what I would have to fill it with.

That wasn't the issue.  I don't mind the 8 pounds if there is a good 
reason.  I have simply learned not to trust manufacturers to "do 
what's right" and to figure out for myself if a modification is in 
order or not.  In this case, I'll leave it be.  Now before anyone 
starts defending the EE lights, I think they are great, I'm certainly 
enjoying mine.  I'll enjoy it even more once I get the manual and the 
charger, which were missing ;-)

Yup, HID.

Are you baiting me? ;-)

Steel and Drysuit, FYI.

BTW, could someone post the reasons DIR has for not mounting the 
light canister to the backplate?
