Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention concerns a disposable small-size light-emitting device (1) comprising a light source (3); an integrated electronic control module (4), and a power source (5), said electronic control module including means (6) for reducing power consumption of said electronic module and or of said light-emiitting elements, when stored and not in use, and optionally means (7), reducing their inertia on being switched on, and means (8) for switching on/off said light sources. The invention is adaptable and capable of being integrated in all types of disposable light-emitting articles, for fun or not such as for instance glasses, lighters, decorative objects.
