Black Beard Plasma Arc Lighter

Fuel-Free Arc Lighter

The Black Beard Plasma Arc Lighter makes fire with electricity instead of butane or lighter fluid, so there is nothing to refill, leak or evaporate in your pack. A plasma arc is a hot electrical spark that jumps between two electrodes, and it lights tinder, candles, stove burners and fuse cord. It suits campers, hikers and anyone building a bug-out bag or vehicle kit who wants a dependable lighter that recharges from a USB port.

Features

• Dual Arc Ignition — Two arcs cross in an X between four electrodes, giving more heat at the tip than a single arc.
• Windproof Arc — There is no open flame to blow out, so the arc keeps working in wind that would snuff a conventional lighter.
• Waterproof Sealed Case — A hinged polymer lid closes over the arc head and seals the electronics against rain and splashes.
• No Fuel Needed — The lighter runs on its internal rechargeable battery, so you never carry butane or fluid.
• 300+ Ignitions Per Charge — The maker rates a full charge at more than 300 lights before it needs topping up.
• USB Rechargeable — Charge it from a wall adapter, laptop, power bank or vehicle USB port with the included cord.
• Side Clip And Lanyard Loop — A metal clip on one side and a loop on the hinge side let you hang it from a pack strap, belt loop or the included lanyard.
• Ribbed Grip Panels — Molded ridges along both edges of the case give you a sure hold with wet or gloved hands.
• Ready Out Of The Box — It arrives ready to use, with a braided lanyard and USB charging cord in the package.

Build And Charging

The outer shell is matte black polymer with Black Beard Fire Starter branding in gold, and it wraps a polished chrome arc head. The flip lid snaps shut over the electrodes, so the arc stays protected in a pocket or pack until you open it. To recharge, plug the supplied USB cord into any standard USB power source.
