You light me up.
We all love to have a lighter handy for candles, incense, birthdays, and the like. And no matter which one you may have on hand, this rechargeable wonder is sure to be an upgrade. It’ll give you up to 300 uses on a single charge from your USB port, and—bonus—it’s completely butane-free. It’s slim, elegant, easy to slip into a drawer or a pocket...no wonder our founders are fans!

Meet the Maker
The USB Lighter Company
Los Angeles, California
In 2014, the creators of the USB Lighter Company set out with a mission: to do something about the 350 million disposable lighters find their way into landfills every year. So they created one that doesn’t use butane, delivers up to 300 lights per charge, and is meant to last forever—truly the lighter to end all lighters.

Best Invention
I go through matches like no one else. When I saw this I had to have it. it's pretty enough to display and is extremely practical. It's also rechargeable. Who would have thought? Thankfully someone did!
The Best Stocking Stuffer Ever!
Got this for my daughter and put it in her stocking. We tried it out this morning - candle in a Christmas scone. This thing really works! Love it! Will be ordering more!
Easy to Store & Works Well
This lighter is modern and easy to store. I was skeptical because I have never seen anything like it before, but we got it to light our gas fireplace, and it is working very well. I wish it were a teeny bit longer so I don't fear for my fine arm hairs, but it does the trick and looks nice in my kitchen drawer.
