Some candle lighters come with additional features like a built-in flashlight, adjustable flame height, or a hanging hook for easy storage. And while my personal sustainability journey long ago led me to seek out particularly ethical, eco-friendly candle options with which to refresh my supply, it wasn’t until much more recently that I realized I could also improve upon the actual candle lighting method. The lighter to end all lighters - the Paddywax Zapper - Black Electric Lighter sparks a new way to ignite the flame of your favorite candle. I found it got clogged with wax between the two pincer like things so had to clean it loads otherwise it would stop working.

I highly recommend incorporating this into your well-being ritual for relaxation, and it would also make a great gift.I only charged it twice in the month or two I had it, so was quite happy with that but then it wouldn't charge the next time. And while this is neither here nor there when it comes to sustainability or function, I have to admit, it’s fun to use.

With a slim, sophisticated shape and format, our electric lighter is an aesthetic addition to your essential candle accessories alongside our gold wick trimmer and candle stuffer.While those lighters are powered by a toxic fossil fuel and only last as long as the butane does, The Candle Lighter works via technology derived from the Tesla Coil; a battery-powered electric current creates plasma arcs, which in turn create a spark. It is also beneficial to check if the product comes with a warranty, as this reflects the manufacturer's confidence in their product. Even with firecrackers on New Year's Eve, it ignites better than conventional lighters and is also not susceptible to wind.
