Safe, reliable, environmentally friendly, and conveniently pocket-sized with an arc instead of a flame – this is how you light candles, lanterns, gas stoves, grills, or fireplaces today. Disposable lighters are harmful to the environment, and refillable lighters often run out of gas or fuel at the crucial moment. The TFA arc lighter operates with an electrically generated arc and can be easily and economically recharged via a Micro-USB cable – using your notebook, PC, or power bank, just like your smartphone. The LED indicator blinks when the battery needs charging, and after 1 to 2 hours of charging time, it is ready for use again. The appropriate USB cable is included. This practical device offers even more advantages over traditional lighters: since it does not produce an open flame, it lights up in wind and weather like a storm lighter and provides greater safety. By pressing the button, the arc is instantly created between the electrodes. A protective cover prevents accidental ignition. As soon as you release the button, or after 7 seconds at the latest, the arc is automatically interrupted.
