Does the light stay on when activated or do you need to keep holding the button down in order to have light?

No the light only comes on when you hold the button. This video may be helpful. The thumblite comes in the video around around the 7:38 mark http://youtu.be/_ltOO-8jW5k

Unfortunately it does NOT stay on. You must hold the button to illuminate the light. On the other hand if you are carrying it in you pocket it could accidently get turned on and then would be dead when you really needed it, so maybe holding the button is NOT unfortunate.

It comes on/stays on when there is very little light. I take the battery out of mine during the day, after charging, so it does not run down. No switch.

You don't have to hold a button. Its a switch. Up for on and down for off (or it could be the other way around as I can't remember which direction) but the switch will stay locked in what ever direction you put it.

It stays on unless you turn the button off. Hope that answers your question.

On mine, you have to hold the button down. This keeps you from running down the battery

I agree. You turn the light off and rapidly turn it back on and it will stay on.

You have to press the button in order to engage it. Mine stopped working all together after 6 months. That little black button to turn the light on it will fall out so be careful with it.

Yes, there is a button to turn it on and a separate one for the light. You can leave it off if you choose too.

If you use the light without opening the door it will stay on until you press it again but;if you open the garage door it will turn itself off. Hope this helps

There is one button on the light. When you click it once it turns on or off. When the light is on, if you hold the button it will scroll through it's three light settings. When you let off, that's where it stays until you do the process again. One thing to note, if the light is off and you hold the button the light will deactivate and you won't be able to turn it on until you hold the button down again. Side note, this is an excellent light! It is very bright and the unit is very durable. I use it every day and strongly recommend it! Best light for the money! And the run time is awesome!

The light stays on. If it's in demo mode, it turns off pretty quickly. There's a 3-throw switch that goes off-demo-on, with another on/off button that only works in demo and on mode.

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

This is great little light for unlocking my front door. The light is steady only while the button is held down. It's either off or on. It doesn't flash.

Yes. You hold the switch down, the light comes on, keep holding, then the light goes out. That locks it. To turn on, press switch and hold it down until light comes on. I carry it in my pocket and it has never come on when I lock it. Almost alwys it comes on if I do not. A must have feature.

Thanks for asking me..I keep it plugged in all year round and it only turns on when you push the button. It will stay on I believe for like 8-10 (I think 10) hours until you push the button in again that turns the light (on the button) off. I LOVE LOVE this item...I know you will too.
