I just purchase this dive rite light:

with the Compact MR11 HID 10-Watt Light Head and am trying to figure out a way to mount the battery canister to my harness.

I am using the older Halcyon ACB weight system with the metal clip on the right side to mount a light. However, it appears the ACB weight system requires some type of special clip on the light that will clip on the metal buckle.

Anyone have any ideas on how to clip my canister onto the ACB weight system clip?

Thanks

I am not familiar with how the ACB weights attach, but is it not possible to slide the light on and push it all the way to the plate, then put on the ACB weights?
 
I figured it out. I feel kind of stupid, but basically you can "Unclip" the webbing on the right ACB and then slide the canister in and then clip the webbing tight again. Pretty slick.

Looking forward to my dives this weekend with the new light.

I've done a number of dives with that same light. You'll love it! Enjoy your dives!
