Bought this to light candles like a normal adult with ambiance goals and a faint interest in self care. On that front, it performs flawlessly. Pruced for value. Instant and easy ignition, no flame, no wind issues, satisfying little bzzt like you’re jump-starting a very polite robot. The safety lock works. The battery lasts forever. The see-through design lets you watch electricity do its thing, which feels both educational and vaguely forbidden. Week one. Candles only. Birthday candles. Scented candles. That one candle you forgot you owned. Five stars. Responsible. Mature. Week two. I notice it lights anything that wants to be lit. Twine. Incense. Grill starters. Campfire kindling. Old receipts. A loose thread on a hoodie. Still fine. Still normal. Still five stars. Week three. I learn this lighter does not judge. It doesn’t ask questions. It just delivers plasma. I begin experimenting. • Lit a marshmallow directly. • Lit a marshmallow that was already on fire, just to see what would happen. • Sealed the end of a shoelace. • Melted a frayed plastic tag. • Started a fire pit during heavy wind like a wizard. • Tested whether paper towels fear electricity. They do. By week four, the lighter has been promoted from “candle accessory” to “household problem solver.” Freezer stuck shut? Not anymore. Birthday cake candles relit mid-song. Bug zapper adjacent activities. Art projects that did not need to involve fire but absolutely benefited from it. At some point I realized I was carrying it around the house with intention. Like a tool. Like a companion. Like something that should probably not be left within reach of my own curiosity. Final thoughts: This is an excellent candle lighter. It is also a tiny handheld portal to chaos. Rechargeable. Windproof. Safe. Until it meets someone with ideas. Would buy again. Would not give to my past self. Read more
I honestly didn’t think I’d care much about a candle lighter, but these KTEBO electric lighters turned out to be way more useful than I expected. First off, the plasma arc works instantly — no clicking over and over like a traditional lighter. Even thick candle wicks light on the first try, and it has zero issues outdoors with wind. I’ve used them for candles around the house, the grill, and even starting a campfire, and they’ve been rock solid every time. The long 7.4-inch neck is perfect for deep jars and lanterns without burning your fingers, and the safety lock is a great touch, especially if you’ve got kids around. I also really like the see-through design — it’s kind of cool being able to see the tech inside instead of just a plain plastic lighter. Battery life has been excellent so far. I’ve been using one regularly for over a week on a single charge, and USB charging makes it super convenient. Having two in the pack is perfect — I keep one in the kitchen and one in my camping gear. No fuel to buy, no smell, no flame — just clean, reliable performance. These would make an easy stocking stuffer or small gift, but honestly they’re just a solid upgrade over disposable lighters. Highly recommend. Read more
These work SO well. The narrow, long shape make them quite adept at lighting the most burned down candles! I like the safety features: there is a switch you turn on, and then a button you have to push to actually activate the lighters. And when powered on, there is a bright light that reminds you to turn it off afterwards. With two in the pack, these are quite well-priced. They feel well-made and solid and the translucent housing makes them looks slightly futuristic and neato. They are on my list of stocking-stuffer gifts for the family. They are very easy to use and light for a long time without needing to charge the battery. Read more
Very cool! Lights candles in less than a second. Which is great since a full charge lasts less than a minute. But the price reflects functionality accordingly. For about $4 each, can't complain too much as they do what they say they'll do. Read more
The arc is about a quarter inch from the end of the lighter. As long as what you are lighting fits in between the arc points it will ignite after a few seconds. If you put it onto a candle and the wick isn't long enough to touch the arc you will have to scrape out wax until you can make contact. This lighter doesn't generate enough heat to melt the wax away. As long as you can touch what ever you are lighting to the arc it will light easily. I was even able to light some incense cones with little effort. The battery seem good. I held the button down for a good 10 second to see if the arc would wane and it stayed solid the whole time. It does cut off after 10 seconds, I'm guessing to keep from overheating. Read more
Awesome, was so tired of trying to light my deep candles with gas lighters... Never even realized this existed still I started googling best candle lighters. Well, im pleasantly surprised how awesome these are, especially for the low price. They look almost like high tech mini tasers. U just flip the switch on and click the small super clicky and satisfying button to make it ignite. Charges with usb-c. Works super good and again getting two of them for this price is great. They hang well with the hook ends. Only complaints would just be that they have a very small battery and the buttons are nearly impossible to see on the black shell. Not a big deal, but if they wanted to make the buttons a color that stands out I wouldn't be mad about it. I can charge these anytime with stuff i have lying around everywhere so no big deal on the smaller battery, and it still seems to be lasting plenty fine. If these die in a year I will buy them again without a second thought. If they die in the next couple months I will look for a higher quality version. Either way I am sold on the arc lighter style and will continue to use this type of lighter for candles and such. Read more
