Hello all. I recently acquired an MBI HF-R UTT, and since getting it I have gotten rid of all my other lights as it is my perfect EDC. I use it with the 10440 body tube as I prefer the slightly larger form factor and longer runtimes. However, I have a problem with the light: no matter what I do, it comes on in my pocket. I have tried multiple carry options: in coin pocket both with and without a lanyard, in a little leather slip, on a dangler clipped to the pocket, etc... and it still comes on in my pocket and drains the battery.

Any advice on how to keep this from happening? As I said I simply love the light, but this is a pretty annoying problem. My ideal carry system would probably be on a dangler, and that seemed to help keep the light from coming on when I first tried it, but still having the problem. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried putting on a lanyard and neck carry? Its small, light and has good looks, it might just be your newest bit of man accessorizing.

Mine did that too. No solution i came up with, including a dangler, helped. Eventually i contacted mbi and he sent me an extra stiff switch, which solved my problem permanently
