When using the pressure switch, can you turn the light on "steady" or is it only momentary while pressing the switch?

Light only activates with the pressure switch when you press the pressure pad.

It doesn't have a "steady" or constant setting using the pressure switch. It is only on while you apply pressure to the pressure pad.
765944
Only momentary. But it comes with a regular back button so with the right application you will get steady

It is temporary. It's a good light. I've had good luck with it and it has withstood many rounds of fire from my Mossberg without fail.

The pressure switch only controls the modes that the flashlight has. It has no modes itself. Not sure if it will work with that light. I tryed to piece together another light and just bought another light and switch. There are a lot of different switches and lights.

I'm sorry I'm not sure about the pressure switch, I do not see any switch on it

NO momentary switch. Switch is at opposite end from light (the butt end). It's either on or off. What's nice is it's intensity (brightness) and the zoom which would be where a normal on/off switch would be. You can push towards the front to make the light narrow beam or pull back for wide beam.

The main button doesn't need much pressure at all. It goes on with the slightest push from your thumb. You have to keep pressing it (holding it) to keep it on, and that's fairly easy. This is the only thing I ever need. There's also a little plastic switch to KEEP it on that I never use because it's very difficult to switch on/off - I would break my fingernail to do it.

Yes, it is momentary. When either side is released the spring returns the switch to neutral position.

Not sure, i use a pressure switch on mine so it's only on while the switch is pressed but otherwise im guessing it's designed to not stay on?

You have to press the button to turn it on, and then to cycle through the light settings press the button only till there's a slight give (no click).

Yes. It is push button switch. One click, low light, another click, medium, etc...Hold it down and it turns off, hold it longer, it strobes, until you let go.

I do not think this can be turned on accidentally. In my opinion, it would be very hard to do. The on button is in the top of the light and it has to be pushed with certain pressure that you would have to make an effort.

There are two ways to activate. Putting pressure on the top or switching the tiny transparent switch for continuous operation. Keep in mind this is infrared so it's hard to see with the naked eye.

Not exactly. A switch is on or off. This is a variable resistor. The resistance changes with pressure sending more or less voltage to the gauge thus showing more or less pressure. (more or less voltage)

The regular Photon does not have a "steady-on" switch, but the Photon II does. On the ones we are currently selling, there is a very small switch at the top of the oval on the side which is closest to the bulb. The switch itself is clear and it has to be pulled back to turn on. You'll probably have to use your fingernail to do it. The older models have a black switch instead of a clear one. I hope this helps.Keri-LynnFour Seasons Survival

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.

There is a nice positive sliding switch. Will stay on or off on its own. A small wide rubber band is on the light to fasten to your finger. I love mine.

The switch can be operated two ways. Rotate or push. Rotate left or right (counterclockwise or clockwise) and the switch will click into a constant on position. Rotate back to original position for constant off. For momentary on, there is no rotation needed. Simply push in either end of the switch for momentary on - only light pressure is needed with a fingertip to activate momentary on. Nifty design and works very well.

This switch only allows power in a momentary press. Not an off/on switch. Only when pressed.
