What makes it different

Wind can't put it out

There's no flame to blow out. The arc lights a campfire in a gale and a candle in front of an open window.

Rain is fine

Waterproof construction and a sealing flip lid, which is the difference between a camp lighter and a kitchen one.

No fuel, ever

About 300 lights per charge, and it refills in under 90 minutes. Nothing to buy, nothing to smell, nothing to leak in a bag.

Clips to a pack

A built-in carabiner and a lanyard loop, so it rides on the outside of a bag where you can find it.

How an arc lighter works

Two crossed arcs instead of a flame.

  1. 1

    Flip the lid

    The hinged cover protects the contacts from weather and pocket lint. Opening it exposes the arc housing.

  2. 2

    Slide the safety and press

    A safety switch means nothing arcs by accident. Press and a dual arc jumps between the contacts.

  3. 3

    Touch what you're lighting

    Bring the arc to the wick, the tinder, or the charcoal. Close the lid when you're done.

Where it earns its keep

Grills, campfires, fireplaces, birthday candles, gas stoves with a dead igniter.

Keep the arc contacts clean and dry. Airlines generally treat arc lighters as lithium-battery devices — carry-on only, never checked.

Questions

Safer than a butane lighter, though it isn't a toy. The safety switch has to be moved deliberately before the button does anything, and there's no fuel to spill or ignite.
