The SOL Fire Lite delivers reliable ignition without butane, matches, or fuel refills through advanced electric arc technology. This weatherproof lighter generates consistent flame in conditions that defeat traditional fire-starting methods, making it essential gear for outdoor adventures and emergency preparedness.
What Makes This Different
Unlike butane lighters that fail at altitude or in cold weather, the Fire Lite uses dual electric arcs that function reliably from sea level to 14,000 feet and in temperatures down to -10°F. The sealed construction prevents moisture infiltration while the rechargeable lithium battery eliminates the need to carry fuel canisters or worry about evaporation during storage.
Key Features
- Dual electric arc ignition system works in all weather conditions
- USB-C rechargeable battery provides 300+ lights per charge
- IPX6 waterproof rating withstands rain and splashing
- High-visibility orange housing for easy location in gear

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature extremes and elevation changes that render conventional lighters unreliable. The electric arc ignites tinder, paper, and kindling instantly without wind interference. Battery life supports extended backcountry trips, while the quick-charge capability restores full power in under two hours from any USB power source.
