Not trying to be obstructive just trying to work out what is practical, I am off to the Redsea soon and won't be taking a canister light.
Okay, I haven't dived Red Sea conditions before but if the vis is that good, you will be able to see hand signals fairly clearly. Wing to wing might not mean wings touching, more that you are in a relative straight line so that you can see your buddy and they can see you. There will be no passive signalling and as such you are going to have to spend more time checking each other.
Also distance apart is how far you and your buddy are comfortable about swimming out of air to each other
