Might be a good little light for the glove compartment but I'm always wary of body-mount switches because they go off in the pocket. You must hold down the button for two seconds to activate but I've had similar flashlights go off in my pocket when the switch is pressed by spare change, or when I lean against a kitchen counter. The specs don't say if there is an option for a "lockout" mode. Otherwise, it looks like a great little light.
