I'm looking into a snap-on light, and it features a "lockout mode".
Does anyone know what it is?

This is feature is to prevent the light from getting turned on if you have it in a carrier that get's banged around. Your batteries won't get wasted by accidentally turning the light on. It's a nice feature. Other manufacturers offer it as well.
