I could not keep enough tension on the button to keep it held down. Being bored though I did manually hold down the light button by hand and it still turned off - although when I let go of the light button it woke up. So I suppose the good electrical geeks could find a quick 1 wire to short and keep the DF400 permanently on.

On the sleep mode. Does pressing the light button wake it up? If so, will putting a small ball of duct tape on the button and then another flat piece over it to press this down before switching it on (and thus leave it permanently pressed down) defeat the sleep mode, as it does on some other flashes? Thanks for this.
