Simply push to engage and pull to disengage. The mechanism is engineered to provide 10 lbs. of holding force. Combine this with the snag-free profile and accidental disengagement is "virtually" impossible, and engagement is verified by a solid "click" every time!
The Beta QR was the worlds for Quick Release keychain flashlight. It was also the first production light in the industry to come standard with a High CRI emitter, and we continue to upgrade the LED as technology progresses.
This concept came to me through observation, research, and conversation. I tried carrying other keychain lights. They were handy to have around, but always got ditched from my key ring...because when I need light I don't want it stuck to a wad of keys. Keychain lights just don't work like I need or want them to, so I came up with something that does.
I launched this light on Kickstarter back in 2012 and it blew up. At the time it was the most funded flashlight project on the platform. The Beta was also the first production flashlight dedicated to High CRI (Color Rendering Index) LEDs. I've been told the Beta was the light that made High CRI a mainstream feature in the flashlight world. I don't know if that's true, but part of our mission is to make High CRI the rule, not the exception. You deserve it.
I started with a "plunger style" quick release because I couln't afford the minimum order quantity for the spring I knew I wanted to use. Enter the QRv2 18 months later: our custom made canted coil spring is the heart of our QR (Quick Release) platform. It just plain works...because that's what it's designed to do. It's also what separates great from good...and all the QR lights that have tried to immitate.

"TWISTY" INTERFACE AND OPERATION
