do you have to hold the button down to keep the flashlight on?

There is a switch to turn the light on. The light will stay on as long as the switch is slid to the 'on" position.

No, it's actually a switch. Pushing the switch up will keep the flashlight on.

No, if you look closely, there is a button and a slide switch onthe same surface of the flashlight. The slide switch turns the light on... the red button activates the stun. Both cannot be activated at the same time. So if the light is on you won't inadvertently shock too.I got this for my wife and she loves it. Of note... the light is really bright too.

You have to hold down the button. But it isn't a big deal. You almost do it automatically.

No. The flashlight body threads into the forearm and the on/off switch is on the forearm.

The laser has an on/off button on back, you press once for on, twice to off. The flashlight can be held to stay on, or you twist it to keep it on or off. Neither of them have a pressure switch.

Yes. It's on the back end of the flashlight a.k.a. tailcap. It's a single mode switch so just on and off. Great flashlight.

Hi, Mark. Yes, you have to hold in the button. It would be nice if it could lock in place, but luckily it doesn't take much force at all to hold it in.

With my D800 for Bulb, you have to keep holding the button down for the time you want.

Yes, you have to hold the button down to operate. it works okay, if you were just looking for a handheld unit I would suggest the shark cordless, this one seems to lack a little power but does the job well for picking up dust and keeping wood floors relatively clean.

I actually shimmed my button with little bits of plastic under the rubber cap, to make the button easier to activate. It's buried and quite stiff. I think you're far more likely to pop off the pocket clip and lose the clip. (happened twice on mine, lucky enough to find it again both times -- And I squeezed closed the part that holds onto the barrel to grip tighter, but i'm not sure of the effectiveness there.) Just make sure the light is INSIDE the pocket, and you should be okay to not lose the flashlight itself. :o)

There is indeed a safety switch, below the button, that needs to be pushed down in order for it to light. In my experience with it, the safety switch has never posed a problem and it is easy to switch down with one finger. So yes it does have a safety switch, but no it's never been a nuisance for me.

You don't have to hold the button down. Hit the button to turn it on, then again to turn it off.

Is under the flashlight, you can on/off with your right/left index finger. Is a great flashlight, super bright!

There is a button on the light itself, and I don't mean the base, which controls the flashlight, and can be set for a flashing light, a continual light, or no light at all. That button controls the flashlight itself, so don't be afraid to be the boss.

Yes, it has a small switch to allow the light to remain on without keeping the button pressed.

No. If you are on bright, you can hold the button until it switches to red without going through the other light functions. Up youngish also switch back to bright by holding the button in.
