A rotorcraft (1) having on-board lighting equipment for lighting the surrounding environment. The lighting equipment comprises a plurality of headlights (2, 2', 3, 3') that are allocated to respective specific lighting functions in landing and in winching. The headlights (2, 2', 3, 3') are also operated to perform a searching lighting function. Control means determine which headlights (2, 2', 3, 3') are to be operated depending on a lighting function selected by an operator and depending on where the headlights are located on the rotorcraft (1). A search zone (4, 4') for illuminating is identified by identification means on the basis of a lighting command common to the headlights (2, 2', 3, 3'). Coordination means cause the headlights (2, 2', 3, 3') to converge on the identified search zone (4, 4'), while taking account of their respective locations on the rotorcraft (1).
