Description
Perfect for lighting candles, incense, gas and propane BBQs, and much more! This eco-conscious electric arc lighter is flameless, waterproof, windproof, and you don’t need gas or fluid for operation.
And, unlike a regular open flame lighter that uses combustible fuel, the electric arc lighter is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that can be recharged just like your phone.
No flame. No fuel. No worries! Simply plug it in to any USB port and you are good to go.
How does it work?
When electricity jumps between the two conducting electrodes at the tip of the lighter, it produces what is known as an electric arc. The air between these electrodes becomes ionized creating the brilliant visual arc which produces high heat.
Benefits of the lighter:
- Flameless: Flame lighters get hot. Not so with this lighter. Because there is no flame, the lighter stays much cooler making it much easier to use in any direction. And, unlike an open flame lighter, this lighter focuses its heat at its tip for precision lighting.
- Built in power indicator: The lighter has four LED battery lights to show the current state of charge, alerting you when there is the need to recharge in advance.
- 360° flexible neck: Lighting a candle has never been easier! The lighter’s long flexible neck can be bent at any angle to fit your needs for any occasion, such as a wick deep in a candle container, a fireplace, campfire, or a BBQ.
- Rechargeable: The lighter is rechargeable anywhere and anytime you want. It comes with a USB charging cable which allows you to charge the battery through a power bank, computer, etc.
- Long battery life: Once the lighter has been fully charged, you won’t need to recharge very often. A full charge can deliver 300 – 500 sparks. And the battery indicator will let you know when the charge is low.
A Note on Safety
If your skin does happen to touch directly in the arc of the electric lighter you will get a small burn. The heat in the arc of this lighter is very hot and can cause some near instantaneous burns.
Luckily between the safety mechanisms on the lighter and proper use it is difficult to actually touch the arc unless you mean to. The space between the electrodes is very small and the arc is only a few millimetres wide. And it is easier to control a plasma arc than an open flame lighter. A plasma arc would not light anything by accident as a flame might do.
Care
Ensure the tip of the lighter is clean at all times. If there is residue or buildup around the tip, use a clean and dry toothbrush to gently brush it away. Do not use any abrasives or liquid cleaners. Only a dry brush or cloth.
USB rechargeable lighters are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. They emit no flame or smoke, produce no sparks or odour, and are completely safe to use.
These lighters can be recycled.
