How does the switch work? Is it push and hold or push and it stays on until it is pushed again... With the toggle chord attachment.

the tail cap switch is a push ON and push OFF type. It stays ON till pushed again. Cord switch is momentary which you hold the push for the light to stay on.

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!

It's just a NC (normally-closed) switch designed to be held-open when installed to prevent a complete circuit until it is released. It is intended to be used as an open ground but could be wired/installed to act as a "positive" contact. These are about the simplest limit switches in existence. If you can't easily grab the concept of how they work, maybe you should hire someone to do the wiring for you.

I had an issue with the switch mechanism. When hooked directly to the battery, life is good. But when their switch is put inline, it doesn't. I replaced the fuse to no avail. I think got out my ohm meter and checked the fuse and the switch. The switch turned out to be bad. I'm now left with either returning the whole thing or just rigging up a toggle switch that I can buy at Home Depot.

You are 'in theory' correct! But, the actual unit doesn't come w/ the Push-Button ON/OFF switch; It comes w/ a Toggle ON/OFF switch, instead. I wanted the Push-Button style when I ordered mine but settled w/ the Toggle. The picture misrepresents the actual item...

I have assumed that pushed in is the "on" mode but have not proven that with any testing. My assumption was based on the way the other switches work on the device where the "in" position makes that circuit active.

The light stays on solid when the switch is depressed... BUT, the switch doesn't stay depressed by itself. You must keep constant pressure on it.

I Jerry Rigged it as it was a bit cumbersome with the switch. I simply held the swith onand pushed a small wooden wedge under the switch so now it stays on!! Good luck.

Its a single pole switch , one wire in and one wire out. When you push the button you close 1 set of contacts that close the circuit momentarly, when you release the button the contacts open and break the circuit.

The switch is a maintained push in pull out. I replaced the one on my Toro Z Turn for the PTO. Works great.

Nope, just press harder than what you are doing now and leave the switch. You dont have to keep it holding

Yes, the switch stays in the ON position until you push the red button. The black shroud around the green button is to prevent pushing it inward by accident.

Yes. It is NO (normally open) switch. Push to close. Spring returns it to NO.

mine didn't last long 2 mths and the push button release stuck. used it 1 time. I will probably get another anyway. to your ?, I don't know but it comes with 2 types of attatchments.

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 stays on till you turn it off. I have a little difficulty with my XM-380 turning the swith on. Sometimes I have to press it more than once to make it stay on. But, to answer your question, you don't have to 'hold' the switch on.

The switch is an "on-off" switch - you can switch it on and it stays on until you switch it off
