I use 2 zip ties (which I keep meaning to trade out for bungee) and a double ender.

I used to use the two bungee loops on handle and ballast but I was doing an ascent during a night dive and dropped the double ender so I had no way to clip off the light head after I surfaced. Now I use a bolt snap tied to the handle and have a bungee loop at the ballast for the double ender that I store in my pocket or clipped off to the right chest d-ring. It is much better for me to have some sort of permanent attachment in-case I get clumsy again.

Should always have a few spare double enders in your pocket anyway, but being able to clip your light off one handed from the ballast side is important I think.

Well, that night I was diving wet with thick gloves on (Lobster season opening night) and no pockets. I had some difficulty getting the D/E attached to the loops in the dark, so I just clipped the D/E to my d-ring. At the end of the dive at my 10' stop I dropped the D/E in 30fsw. I just tossed the cord over my shoulders for the swim in as it was a very calm night w/lots of bioluminesence. Not a major issue, but one that made me decide I needed at least one permanent attachment.

Being able to clip off one handed is important, but you need to be able to see the loop to attach the D/E too. Try it on a night dive a few times and you'll see what I mean.
