– UTD TECHNIQUES – YOUR BACKUP LIGHT 1. If you have one backup light, it’s clipped to the right chest d-ring. If you have two lights, the second is clipped to the left chest d-ring. Band the lights to the harness with o-rings, bungee, or bicycle inner tube sections. 3. Turn the bolt snap so the gate is facing in. This way, when you unclip your regulator, you will not mix up the bolt snaps. 2. A secondary benefit to clipping the light to the right chest d-ring is that it holds the d-ring down, making it easier to clip and unclip your regulator. 4. If you need to use your backup light due to a primary light failure, be sure to turn it on BEFORE you unclip it, so if you drop it you can find it. It’s often best to leave it clipped off when in actual use.
