A headlamp with a light source, an electrical power source and several states controlling power sources and light beams is presented.The first state corresponds to at least one activated state in which the electrical power source is coupled to a light source to generate a light beam.The second state corresponds to a deactivated state where the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated.The third state corresponds to a locked state in which the electrical power source is not coupled to a light source and no light beam is generated;Also included is a switching mechanism to receive a first and a second physical user input through one switching element. A processor is coupled to the switching mechanism and is used to select one among the first, second and third states in response to the physical user inputs.
