I'm seriously considering a cannister light and will carry it according to
the Hogarthian standard. However, it would seem intuitive to put the
Goodman handle on top of the right hand, to avoid a lead crossing over to
the opposite side. I see most pictures portraying divers with left hand
lights. Why?

I should probably add, I'm left-handed and pretty insensitive to which hand
is the "correct" one for anything but writing. I can use either hand
without really having to consider which one is "good" and which one is
"bad". Should I still cross the lead over my chest and use the left hand
for carrying the light head? If I use the right one the lead could run
along (or even twist around) my right arm with little slack to snag on
anything.

regards,

Hans
