I'd like to carry the light clipped in my pocket. Is there any worry that the the button might accidentally depress when I sit down?

I carry it in my front pocket all the time, and have never had any issues with the button being pressed when sitting down. I do have to be careful when re-inserting it into my pocket with the clip that I don't press the button, but I've never had an issue with an accidental press due to repositioning my body in any way. The travel on the button before it actuates is significant enough to prevent this.

I bought an inexpensive Maglight compatible camo "holster" from Bass Pro, and it works pretty well, but I'll occasionally turn it on inadvertently when removing it from my belt and or sometimes when standing up at my desk. Doesn't happen much and I don't worry over it since it uses AAA cells.

Yes so I took the advise from another user and took the metal button out and replaced it with the rubber button off of my old streamlight. Problem solved.

Yes it has a possibility of doing so. Mine doesn't really actuate wfrom sitting down. Mine happens to turn on when I bump into stuff or when I reach in my pocket to grab my phone. My light shares the same pocket as my phone yes.

I did have that problem. However, there's an alternate method of turning on and off the light by twisting the front end. I twist the front end a little bit so the light is off which does not allow it to be turned on using button on the rear.

I carried mine in my pocket everyday, untill It got packed up during a recent move ( I ordered another one cuz I hate going without it, it should arrive tomorrow). there were a couple instances where it turned on in my pocket but there is a very audible click so I've known everytime it's happened.

I've had it go off once in the three months I've been using it (about 4-6 days a week), but I do keep mine in a vest. I think if it went off (lit) in your pocket, you would feel the heat pretty quick.

The button is very "tactile" and takes a positive press to turn on. When I carry it in a brief case I unscrew the head slightly to prevent accidentally turning it on. Simply tighten to turn on.

No, the buttons are not sensitive. They have never turned on by mistake while in my pocket. I have used this case for 2 months. I feel like the buttons are the best part of this case... Flush with the side, but easy to differentiate as well.

sure! i carry mine in my pocket when i shoot all the time and have had no issues with it turning on afterwards. if you are looking for something to mount to your firearm i would look elsewhere. this light is as big as a AA battery and has a twisty switch. not designed as a weapons light.

It's a click on with the button in the base/butt end. Potentially it can turn on in your pocket, but I have not had any problems with it.

When you carry it, you can easily hold your fingers slightly underneath the folded legs. Not a big deal.

Yes that is why the holster is designed the way it is. You will have no problem unless your pockets are stuffed with heavy items. I have used mine without a belt inside my jeans with no problems.

Just used mine for the first time and was about to ask the same question. I find it awkward to keep pressure on the so-called One-Touch Power Button while operating. May be a safety feature but I wouldn't have purchased if I knew that was how it operated. Plan to try it a few more times to see if I get used to it. If not, I will return.

I've had this light for several months now. I keep it on my keychain so as a matter of course I throw it in my pocketand carry it around all day. As I usually do with keys I toss it on the counter or my desk at work along with my keysand have never had a problem. I've even dropped it on the floor a few times. You don't have to use kid goves to handle this light, as long as you're not abusive in your handling of it, it should be just fine.

You need to hold the button. Seems not quite convenient, but I think much safer.

Mine still works. It is not bright at all. And it's tilted now from being in my pocket. I have to hold it at a certain angle and very close to the pts eye because it is so light. I just use my floor's flashlight. Really the white organizer and scissors is what I use daily. And I love it. It fits into scrub pocket, absorbs any pen leaks and keeps everything upright.

Yes. There is an on/off switch on it.And it's not very big, so you should be able to carry it in your pocket without much of a problem.

Definitely not. That was my intention when purchasing it but it's too small. Both the clip and the light are tiny.

I have found it plenty convenient for carrying in my front pockets. Unless the pockets in your jeans are really tight, you should be OK. It won't slide in and out like it wound without the case, but I've found that to be more due to the texture of the rubber than the size of the case.

The button is recessed and you have to push down kinda hard. I have one in my hand, I am not worried about it turning on in my pack at all

i have carried this light pen on my blazer pocket and the front pocket of my pants for over a year and it has never accidentally turn itself on . i think you will be happy with the quality and brightness of this pen light. it is always a good thing to have an extra pair of batteries at work or in the car, just in case.

I've tried both ways. I like wearing the clip holder because you can have them open but it's a little hard to get them out quickly. It seems most of the time I just wear them closed clipped to my pocket.

I have it on a small pocket on my purse tight enough so i don't turn it on by accident. In months only turned on once (while i was looking for something in my purse) but i saw the red light right away and turned it off.
