Abstract: A piezoelectric type of lighter, with a flame generation device (30), including a gas jet release mechanism (36) and a piezoelectric mechanism for generation of a spark (50), characterized in that the lighter includes two actuators (32, 34) which are displaced following a pivoting movement under the action of a force applied by a user, between a first position called rest position and a second position called the active position, whereby at least one of the actuators, called the first actuator, can be displaced independently of the second actuator and acts on at least one of the mechanisms, called the first mechanism. The lighter can produce a flame from the lighter when the two actuators have been pivoted.
