Abstract
The invention relates to a torch with a torch housing and a torch head. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a torch. The invention addresses the problem of creating a simply constructed and robust torch with a rotary switch, on which the selected function can be clearly assigned and therefore no regular function check is required. To this end, according to the invention, the torch housing and the torch head are connected to one another in a captive manner so as to be rotatable relative to one another, in order to form a rotary switch with different switching states, wherein marks which permit the switching states to be clearly assigned are arranged on the housing side and torch head side. Also according to the invention, after the first assembly of the torch and after a first activation, the switching states for subsequent activation processes are clearly defined by means of a mark on the torch head side and a mark on the housing side.

Abstract
The invention relates to a flashlight, comprising a housing, a light source, and a flashlight head that has an optical attachment, which flashlight head can be moved along the longitudinal axis relative to the light source in order to focus the emitted light cone. The aim of the invention is to create a flashlight that enables easy movement of the reflector relative to the light source and prevents undesired adjustment of the set focus. According to the invention, the flashlight has a clamping device for fixing the flashlight head in a selectable position along the longitudinal axis.

Abstract
The invention relates to a torch having a switch by means of which different brightness levels and/or various wavelengths of optical light can be selected. According to the invention, this switch is in the form of a rotary switch (19) which is connected to a pressure-loaded, decentrally arranged contact spring (21) which, depending on the rotation position, makes contact with at least two different contact zones (1 to 4) so as to close an electrical circuit, it being possible for different voltages to be set and/or for different LEDs (15) to be activated in the electrical circuit by means of said contact zones.

Abstract
The invention relates to a torch having a rotary switch which serves to switch different degrees of brightness and/or colors of light. Said switch comprises a battery cartridge (15) that is rotatably housed in a torch case (14) and has resiliently received electrical contacts (20, 21) on its face, said contacts being connected to electrical contact surfaces (5) or electrical contact zones (1, 2, 3, 4) of a contact plate (16). The aim of the invention is to devise a torch having different switching states that has a compact design and that can be switched in a simple and reliable manner. For this purpose, the battery cartridge is captively retained in the torch case by means of a locating sleeve (11) and the battery cartridge is rotated by means of a rotary knob (21) that axially extends through the locating sleeve.
