How do you mount your can light if you're not using a bp?

KGNickl · 02-15-2008, 06:18 AM

Could you describe the gear and setup you are using?

You could sling it or zip tie it somewhere.

Um....you get a bp/w???

You could modify a pony bracket to mount the canister to your tank. You could also sew a bit of webbing on to your bc perhaps??

Take pictures and post them here and I'm sure someone will have a good idea! Heck, you could try attaching it to the cam band for your tank....

I have an Oceanic Excursion BC. There is a drop down pocket on the right hip that a can would fit in....Just a matter of it STAYING there. I was thinking about trying to find a clip like the Night Rider lights have on them so I could just slip that over my cam strap........

What is the size of the can light? I have friend with tiny canister that they simply clip off hehind next to the backpad but infront of the wind in the armpit area. Other options include 'butt mounting', tank mounting on the cam band, slinging it under the waist cumberbund
etc.

I have a Big Bertha older style DR 50w wreck canister that I sling with double ender clips on my R side similar to a pony bottle.

How is that working out for you? I thought of doing that originally. but I haven't tried it yet. I know I prefer my pony slung as opposed to mounted on the tank.

Dude, I'd just let it hang...

It works fine....simple to rig and carry while diving. If you have a larger wreck size can partc. it does nice.
