Yes- that, and lack of aaa support are its 2 glaring shortcomings but thats ok for my purposes. Since I make clips, keepers, and other small spring steel items, i can fix that (but prefer not to have to) I envisioned a small semi-cylindrical spring steel piece that comes up past the body and surrounds the switch slightly so that it shields the switch from accidental activation. It would also have a lanyard attachment point, and if i wanted a clip that held the light emitter down, it could incorpirate that as well. I honestly dont know why they didn’t make it that way to begin with. I sometimes shake my head at flashlight manufacuters and wonder if they ever use them themselves or listen to customer feedback. This would have been nearly perfect had they make it without the shortcomings you pointed out.
