a rack ( 300 ) fixedly mounted inside the chamber ( 110 ) and provided with rack teeth ( 310 ); the rack teeth ( 310 ) and the teeth ( 240 ) cooperate to fix the movable pull rod ( 200 ) and the rack ( 300 );

a second base ( 400 ) for fixing the tactical light ( 900 ) and having a first end surface which is fixed to the tactical light ( 900 ) and a second end surface which is fixed to the first base ( 100 ); the first end surface and the second end surface of the second base ( 400 ) face each other.

2. The locking device for a tactical light ( 900 ) for Key-mod and M-lok rails ( 800 ) as in claim 1 , wherein the locking device for tactical light ( 900 ) further comprises a lever ( 500 ) rotatably connected to the first base ( 100 ); the lever ( 500 ) comprises a second connecting part ( 510 ), a third hooking part ( 520 ) extending from a first end of the second connecting part ( 510 ), a third connecting part ( 530 ) disposed between the second connecting part ( 510 ) and the third hooking part ( 520 ), and a second adjusting part ( 540 ) extending from a second end of the second connecting part ( 510 ); the third connecting part ( 530 ) is connected to the inner wall of the chamber ( 110 ) through a shaft pin ( 550 ), so that the lever ( 500 ) is rotatably connected to the first base ( 100 ); a slot ( 170 ) which extends along a stretching direction of a second elastic member ( 150 ) is formed on a side wall of the first base ( 100 ); the second connecting part ( 510 ) is fixed to the inner wall of the chamber ( 110 ) through the second elastic member ( 150 ); the third hooking part ( 520 ) is fixed with the second base ( 400 );

the second adjusting part ( 540 ) passes through the slot ( 170 ) to be disposed outside the chamber ( 110 ); the first end and the second end of the second connecting part ( 510 ) face each other.

3. The locking device for a tactical light ( 900 ) for Key-mod and M-lok rails ( 800 ) as in claim 2 , wherein the second end face of the second base ( 400 ) is provided with two sliding platforms ( 410 ); the first base ( 100 ) is correspondingly provided with a sliding slot ( 180 ); the sliding platforms ( 410 ) are inserted in the sliding slot ( 180 ); the sliding platforms ( 410 ) cooperate with the sliding slot ( 180 ) so that the second base ( 400 ) can move relative to the first base ( 100 ); the third hooking part ( 520 ) hooks a side wall of one of the sliding platforms ( 410 ) so that the second base ( 400 ) can be fixed with the first base ( 100 ).

4. The locking device for a tactical light ( 900 ) for Key-mod and M-lok rails ( 800 ) as in claim 1 , wherein the openings ( 120 ) are elongated in shape, and the openings ( 120 ) each has a longitudinal direction which is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the first elastic member ( 140 ).

5. The locking device for a tactical light ( 900 ) for Key-mod and M-lok rails ( 800 ) as in claim 2 , wherein the first elastic member ( 140 ) and the second elastic member ( 150 ) are springs.

6. The locking device for a tactical light ( 900 ) for Key-mod and M-lok rails ( 800 ) as in claim 5 , wherein an end surface of the first connecting part ( 210 ) which is distant from the rack teeth ( 310 ) is an inclined surface.

7.
