Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2820193A1] The invention relates to an analogue lighting element, light stick or torch of the type that comprises a body containing at least one power source (H) and at least one light source (I) powered by said power source and a power supply switch for the light source. Said switch comprises a first electrical contact (lateral pad) and a second electrical contact (B). The power supply circuit for the light source is closed by moving the power source from top to bottom, a movement which puts or leaves a pole of the power source in contact with said first contact and which puts the other pole of the power source in contact with said second contact of a lower pad. The movement can result from a simple manual impact or a simple movement of the wrist joint.
