An operating light is provided with a basic body (1) with flat contact surfaces (2), which are oriented with mutually different angular orientations of the respective surface normals to the working point of the operating light. A printed circuit board (6), having an underside which is flat in a premounted position, has rigid sections (8) with flat upper side surfaces pointing towards a working point of the operating light and sections (7) flexible in a preferred direction, which extend between the rigid sections (8). Light-emitting diodes (9) are arranged on the rigid sections of the printed circuit board. A lens holder (22) is provided with optical lenses (13) for the light-emitting diodes (9). The rigid sections of the printed circuit board can be placed on the contact surfaces (2) of the basic body (1) in a positive-locking manner in a mounted position, so that the light-emitting diodes (9) have lighting directions corresponding to the angular orientations of the contact surface normals. The lens holder (22) can be fixed to the basic body (1) such that a mechanical force can be indirectly or directly transmitted by the lens holder onto the printed circuit board (6), so that at least the rigid sections (8) thereof are pressed from the premounted position into the mounted position in a positive-locking manner against the contact surfaces (2) of the basic body (1).
