Could you please advise on primary and backup flashlight DIR setup/location on your rig.
Using the GUE link that Basking Ridge Diver provided, and adapting it to your specific request fro primary and backup
flashlight setup:
BACKUP: Note in 'The Harness and Backplate' section, immediately below the first paragraph, in the right-most picture, the location of the backup flaslight - clipped with a butt-mounted bolt snap to the right chest D-ring, and the head held in place with a piece of inner tube or bungee The light in the picture is a Halcyon Scout (great light), which is a fairly large flashlight, but you can do the same with smaller back-up lights (e.g. the smaller Intova lights).
PRIMARY: Note also in 'The Harness and Backplate' section, in the third set of pictures - the 'three-across' - the location of the primary light, in this case a canister light mounted on the right waist strap and the
light head mounted with a Goodman handle on the back of the left hand. You ask about a flashlight primary, and you can mount your flashlight primary on your left hand in a similar manner, using a Goodman glove / Goodman handle (
Lights - Goodman Handles and Light Accessories - Northeast Scuba Supply Store). You do not need a canister light (although I prefer them for darker, and overhead, environments, I often dive with a Big Blue flashlight as my primary, mounted in a glove in daylight, open water environments).
