I did the same thing with my AUL. What you do is drape the light head around
your neck before approaching the ladder. Generally the only time you clip
the light head off to your dring is when your rig is on the boat rack,
otherwise it is on your hand or draped around your neck.

> Subject: what to do with the light cord
> 
> I'm and open water diver and dive with NiteRiders Blackwater 3000 which I
> won at a scuba show.  The cord between the battery pack and the lighthead is
> the proper length - just long enough for left handed operation.
> 
> I wear the battery on my right waist strap where the cannister would go.
> I've attached a bolt snap to the light head with a piece of bicycle
> innertube and clip off the lighthead to my right chest d-ring when the light
> is not in use.
> 
> A couple weeks ago as i was getting back on the boat, the light cord snagged
> a rung of the ladder.  When i went to lift myself on the ladder, the
> lighthead got a severe jerk.  The following week after diving i noticed the
> lighthead was flooded.
> 
> The question is, "Is there already a standard way to configure the light
> cord that prevents it from flapping in the waves?"  I must have missed that
> detail when studying the available literature.
