Abstract: Portable lamp comprising a foot (16) provided with fixing means (23, 24), an arm (17, 18) and lamp-shade (19) provided with a socket as well as with feeding means with electrical current of low voltage for said socket. The arm (17, 18) is hinged at its upper end on the lamp-shade (19) and at its lower end on the foot (16). The lower part (17) of the arm is made of one piece of moulding with the foot (16) and this lower part and this foot comprise friction means (20, 21) entering in contact during the pivotement of the arm (17, 18) on the foot (16) permitting to fix these elements in a desired angular position. The lamp-shade (19) is made out of one piece of moulding with the upper part (18) of the arm (17, 18) and the internal faces of the rear parts (28) of the lamp-shade (19) co-operate with the lateral faces (26) of the upper part (18) of the arm to maintain by friction the chosen angular position of the lamp-shade (19) on the arm (17, 18).
