The Black Beard Fire Starters ARC Electric Lighter delivers reliable ignition without butane or fuel, using dual electric arcs to light fires in any weather condition. This windproof lighter charges via USB and provides hundreds of uses per charge, making it essential gear for outdoor enthusiasts and emergency preparedness.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional butane lighters that fail in cold temperatures and high altitudes, this electric arc lighter generates plasma arcs reaching over 1,100°F instantly. The dual-arc design creates a wider ignition zone than single-arc models, lighting tinder and kindling more efficiently. The rechargeable lithium battery eliminates the need for fuel refills and maintains consistent performance in extreme conditions where gas lighters become unreliable.
