I have a custom length light cord that is snaked along the back of my harness and comes out behind my left shoulder. You could put a small clip halfway down the cord and clip to your left shoulder d-ring, run a chest strap to trap it, or put a bungee loop on the shoulder straps to keep the cord close to your armpit so it doesn't catch

Yeah that helps with the first part but we're do i out the light head while attaching my tanks?

I am using Xdeep stealth rig as well and I have sidemount style (90 degree) canister. It is placed on crouch strap right below the dump valve and above the butt pouch.

Cable coming from right side, under the hip harness, light head clipped to right chest dring either temporarily or permanently therefore doesn’t interfere while donning and doffing tanks, also it works same as backmount doubles so standard practice for all types of diving (cable coming from right, over the long hose, in case of gas sharing under and over the head over the long hose etc).

Clip the Goodman boltsnap to d-ring, tuck the remainder of the light cord into your waistbelt

depends on how low it hangs but I usually clip it to my right shoulder d-ring where the inflator goes

I clip it to my right shoulder d-ring when attaching my left tank, then move it to the left or, most likely, just let it hang down by the cable while I attach the right. Since I am usually leaning back a bit to do it the light head just rests on my crotch or on my left thigh.

Hello,

I have a custom made canister cord that snakes along the spine over the left shoulder to the left d-ring. The cord runs under the velcros of the weight pockets of the Xdeep Stealth 2.0.

You could either attach the light to your helmet when donning and doffing or flip it back such that it rests on your shoulder.

Best wishes Jens
