No, it’s a lighter that won’t burn the user’s hands because it doesn’t produce a flame, but uses a plasma arc instead.įor those readers of ours who aren’t familiar with plasma arc lighters, let us briefly explain how this one works. This lighter doesn’t have that problem, fortunately. That’s because as you tilt the flame down you’re inadvertently placing your hand above the flame, and as we all know, heat rises upwards. The problem with a lot of lighters is that it can be difficult to light small things like candle wicks without burning yourself. All of these features together make this a lighter that many people are going to want to consider for use at home or on camping trips. Other features that can be found on this lighter is an LED battery display that alerts the user to how much of a charge they have left, as well as an extended life battery that allows the lighter to be lit hundreds of times. And because this model is both wind and splash-proof, it’s easy to use outdoors for lighting grills or campfires. It’s also a good lighter for lighting tinder for starting a campfire, as the end can be placed directly under the tinder. What we did like about this lighter, however, was that it had a flexible hose that can be turned to light candles from multiple angles and all without the user having to bring their hand anywhere near the flame. All of which makes it great for use around the house or for tossing into an emergency kit or bugout bag. This lighter is also extremely durable and is made of a combination of ABS high-impact plastic and zinc-alloy. And since it can be recharged via USB, the user can charge it using any USB adapter or a laptop’s USB port. This battery lasts approximately 2-hours, so the user should get plenty of lights out of it. This lighter doesn’t use lighter fluid but instead uses a rechargeable lithium battery. Although it’s dual-arc design does mean that it can be difficult for it to light certain things because it produces a plasma arc and not a flame, we otherwise thought it was a great light. That makes it a wonderful outdoor lighter for lighting campfires, cigarettes, or just about anything else the user needs it to do. Not only is this lighter water-resistant, up to IP56 standards, it’s also windproof, so the consumer can light it virtually anywhere. That’s why we decided that this particular brand of lighter was the best of all of the ones we reviewed. No one wants their lighter to fail while they’re trying to light their grill, or even worse when they need to make a campfire in a survival situation. Reliability is what’s going to make or break the consumer’s expectations. Sure, all of those other considerations are important, but they’re not as important as reliability. It’s how reliable the lighter is in the first place. What makes a lighter the best one around isn’t how much it costs or how easy it is to use. After we thought about all of these things, we realized that we were thinking about it all wrong. Is it how many lights a person can get out of it, or is it merely a matter of price? Maybe what makes a lighter the best is that it’s convenient and easy to use.
