Safe and reliable, because it uses an arc instead of a flame – this Brandson arc lighter ignites candles, lanterns, gas stoves, grills, or fireplaces. Since it does not produce an open flame, it works in wind and weather. A switch prevents accidental ignition. As soon as you release the button, or after 5 seconds at the latest, the arc is automatically interrupted. Who hasn't experienced this: gas and butane lighters suddenly run out at the crucial moment. With the arc lighter, this won't happen to you, as the LED indicator keeps you informed about the battery status. You can easily charge the arc lighter using the included micro-USB cable with a wall charger, laptop, PC, or power bank. After 1 hour of charging, it is ready for use again. Tip: Do not leave the product in direct sunlight for an extended period.
