arc lighter

Most arc lighters use a built-in rechargeable battery and are charged via USB; product listings commonly describe them as USB-chargeable.

A flameless arc (plasma) lighter creates a plasma arc instead of a conventional flame. Listings describe these lighters as windproof and suitable for use in windy conditions.

Battery life varies by model and usage, but some listings specify up to about 200 arcs per charge. Customer reviews also note good battery life for certain models.

They’re used for lighting candles, fireworks, grills, stovetops, and other household or outdoor ignition tasks.

Arc lighters are typically compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry. Being USB-rechargeable, they’re often presented as an eco-friendlier alternative to disposable fuel lighters by reducing single-use waste.

Common styles include small thumb-style lighters and longer stick or wand styles; lengths and shapes vary by model.

USB charging is standard; some models use USB-C. Descriptions indicate some packages include a charging cable (for example a USB‑A to USB‑C cable).

Review summaries describe many models as simple to operate, with attractive, display-worthy designs and solid build quality for several models.
