Can the switch be "locked out" to keep it from turning on if the light is packed in something like a backpack?

The power button is slightly recessed below the level of the back / bottom cap. Something would need to actually poke past the surrounding cap to turn it on.

You have to push in the button on the bottom of the unit to turn it on. Mine takes an effort so I doubt it would come on from being banged around in a backpack

I wouldn't worry about this at all. You have to click the button twice to keep the flash light on.

There is a switch that you can turn from on to off. There's no safety lock, but the switch is very safe!

Yes, leave the light switch in the on position. No need to ever turn it off.

2 ways to light it, press button for momentary light, or slide a tab next to the button to lock it on. So the answer is Yes, it can be locked on. Very handy, I have 1 on each keychain.

If you are asking if the switch can be inside and the light outside, then the answer is yes. The caveat is that both are battery operated and therefore their power is related to temperature.

i'm not exactly sure... but I think the lock switch disables all functions to avoid pocket unintended turn ons.

Yes.Since you can't be sure of which switch controls that light, turn off the power at the fuse box for that circuit. Make certain that the power is off, then and only then proceed. If you have rubber gloves they will add a layer of protection when handling the tool.I am not an electrician so if you are not comfortable doing this, please do not attempt. That's the best advice I can give you. Please be safe!

I think it couldn't be turned off while you using it. There's no switch to control the light.

Hi. yes on both! I actually called cust serv to ask the power question and he said if you're leaving home for an extended period, just turn the switch off but other than that just leave it on. And yes, it is waterproof so you can leave all components outside all the time.

No. This light represents a good value for the money. I wouldn't want it to turn on by itself.

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

No. The only way to do so is to use a toggle switch add on. If you don't want the light you can simply not install it as I did.

Next to the on off switch, there is a hole of sorts on either side. A cord could be attached but it might interfere with the switch.

I keep this in my pocket as well. The button is recessed withing the end cap and I have never had an issue with it turning on accidentally. I have been very pleased with this light.

I agree with the other answers: the toggle switch is on the bottom. Turning it off when not in use saves the battery (just like a flashlight).

no the light has a seperate switch that you turn on when you want to use it

You have to hold the button to keep the light on. Also had a problem to take it on travel because there are buttons on three sides of it and there was no way to pack it that one or another of them was not being pressed in the suitcase.
