Duh. I am trying to de-strokify my equipment. I made big progress by
getting a halcyon backplate & harness and tried it out for the first time
yesterday. I was really happy to discover that it actually *is*
comfortable, and seems to create much less drag than my Transpac. 

As instructed by the various gear rigging pages I've looked at, I put my
light (Dive Rite Massive Leaking System) on my right side, as far back as I
could get it. I removed the plastic waist buckle from my Transpac and
threaded it all the way over by the light to hold it in place. That worked
semi-ok. 

My questions are:
(1) If I use an extra buckle to hold the light in place, how should I
thread the buckle, and which way should it close (towards the light, or
away from the light)?
(2) Is it better to use something other than a buckle, and if so what?

Thanks, all for your patience. I am catching on, albeit slowly.
