is the light button a switch or does it need to be held down for the light to be on?

Its a on / off switch that you activate with your thumb. It has a positive click when moved, you wont accidentally leave it on by mistaking turning it off when it is not. I had that problem with the cheaper Vivitar magnifying glass.

It is a switch that stays on until you switch it off. You do not have to hold it down continuously. That would be really annoying!

There is a switch on the handle of the magnifier that controls the LED light.

It is a switch that has to be moved in the direction (up) of the optic,then locks itself in place. If it does not then it is defective.

Its not an on off toggle like a normal flashlight. Its a programmable button that is a momentary toggle.

With switch on quickly switch it off and then back on. The light should stay 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 way! It takes a deliberate push "into" the light with the tip of your finger or thumb. I don't think it would turn on if the light were dropped directly on the switch button.

To activate the light you simply squeeze the button. You can then push a little tab to keep the light on without having to keep pressure on the button.

There is an on/off button. It is the black bar above the LED light in the photograph. As an update to my original review, for installation in my kitchen I used the adhesive alone and have had some of the lights fall down. I would recommend using the provided screws for use in areas that are near stove, sink, moisture, etc. Hope this helps.

Hi Toby, no, the switch is either on or off. If you slowly press the button, it latches before the LED comes on.

We installed it in a laundry room with no switch. The light turns on and off automatically. You can use a standard switch with it, but you would leave it "on" at all times, but this could lead to confusion, if someone accidentally turned it off.

There is a foot switch...it looks like a button/knob and you can turn it to the light setting of your choosing. Everyone loves these lamps...when they visit us.

It has a switch. You could press on it to turn it off and on and also dim it. A lot of light. Great light for the price.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

Mine also has one light button but it is an oval shaped button and the top controls the top lights and the bottom controls the lower lights.

We are using it without a light switch. However, you should know the pull cords don't work when this is installed.
