How can I prevent this light from turning on in my pocket or backpack? It does that a LOT.

The headlamp has a lockout function. Press & hold the button to turn it on until the light on the side flashes. It is then locked.

It has a lock setting which helps a ton. Just hold down the power button until a blue light is blinking in the power indicator. And simply hold it down to unlock it.

Um..... It should never be on unless charging. You did not charge it when you first got it did you? It comes charged. From then on it only takes a two hour charge. If overcharged and battery ruined the light will stay on.

I have this lamp for a few months & have not experienced the problem that you mention. I have unplugged it on occasion & no problem when plugging it back in. When I saw your note I unplugged the lamp & then plugged it back in & it went right on.

Shut the light off at the source. That is what I have done. When I need it I switch it back on. Otherwise call the company.

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

The light doesn't go on in daytime because it has a light sensor. You might be able to tape over the sensor to disable it.

There's a setting that changes the brightness according to ambient light levels. I suggest leaving it off all the time

I find the one light it has very distracting, so just put a small piece of dark tape (I used electrical tape) over it, and no more problem for me!

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)

You have to turn it on, then push the "shock" button. Very small chance of going off in your pocket. I haven't had any issues. However, I have found that it needs to be charged a lot more often then the directions say.

Nah, I'm front ct and have had my light out at night in the single digits and teens and had no problem. Just keep it in my jacket pocket until I need it and pull it out and use it for about 30 min or so each time and it worked np. Probably used it in these Temps about half a dozen times this winter.

The light should stay on. ..could be from a dead battery, make sure to take the battery out between using otherwise it will die really quickly.

The light clicks on. It should not turn on in your pocket. Buy the way I really like this light and it is very bright, Buy it.Chris

There is a remote possibility that it could turn on while in your back pocket, but not very likely. The on/off switch is very stiff. It's not uncommon that I sometimes have to engage it twice by hand to get it to switch on by hand. I think you're safe.

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

I find it pretty hard to turn it on intentionally, so I'm surprised you're having problems with it being turned on accidentally. But to prevent your problem, I'd take a utility knife to a cardboard box and cut a piece about 6" x 6", and wrap it around the light and secure it with a heavy rubber band. Of course the flutes of the corrugations must be parallel to the length of the light.
