Abstract
A torch light comprises an elongate case and fixing means to enable it to be used as a head-mounted lamp. The fixing means comprise a fixing plate designed to cooperate by clipping with locking means provided in a blind orifice of the case and arranged to constitute positive locking of the fixing plate in the active position, switching of said locking means from the active position to the inactive position requiring a manual unlocking operation to uncouple the case from the fixing plate. A head-mounted lamp can thus be quickly transformed into a torch light.
