electric plasma arc lighter

Most models use an internal rechargeable battery and are recharged via USB (many recent units include USB-C). They rely on battery power rather than liquid fuel or disposable cells.

They are commonly described as windproof, producing a stable electric/plasma arc that performs better than a conventional flame in windy conditions and at awkward angles.

They are marketed for lighting candles, fireworks, grills and stoves, and for outdoor tasks such as lighting tinder or camp stoves.

They use a flameless high-voltage electric/plasma arc as the ignition method. Some product descriptions specify a single arc design, while others refer to plasma-arc technology more generally.

Example lengths range from about 3.25 inches to 9.5 inches, with weights roughly between 0.1 and 0.25 pounds depending on model.

They advertise USB rechargeability that removes the need for disposable fuel or batteries, flameless and windproof arc operation, compact portability, and an eco-friendly alternative that reduces waste.
