Arc Lighter, Windproof Waterproof Lighter with Flashlight, Flameless Lighter Rechargeable with 3 Mode LED, Dual Arc Plasma Electric Lighter with Lanyard Camping, Survival, Tactical - Black

The media could not be loaded.  First off the flash light is much brighter than I expected! It’s blinding when looking directly at it. It’s more of a flood light than a beam, but it’s perfect for every scenario I’ve used it for. 5x6 LEDs so 30 in total!There’s 3 modes as shown in my video. Low, Strobe, and High. There’s no memory setting which means you’ll have to cycle through each one, but with only 3 settings it’s fine.The quad arc “flame” provides double the power of 2 arc’d versions. You can light pretty much anything devoid of moisture. I’m talking tinder-like things not kindle+. You want a mini flame thrower you need a torch.Waterproof housing seems legit although I’ve never tested it. The belt clip is the reason I bought it and it’s removable! Clip is kinda loose on my thin belt but maybe a thicker belt or thicker pants would help.I’ve taken it on my recent camping trip and it’s practicality in the most unlikely scenarios was a life saver. I never thought I needed a lighter/flashlight combo until I owned one!

Growing up - Zippo was the go-to lighter. Your dad had one - everyone's dad had one. In fact I have one. I don't use it very often (I don't smoke) so I find the fuel has dried out when I need it and I am coordinated enough to make a mess when I try to refill it. And while there is still something about spinning the wheel, the flame bursting forth and the iconic smell of that style lighter...This new style of lighter much better suits my needs. The charge lasts for a while, and since I'm not using it multiple times in a day, I don't have to worry about topping it off or generally running out of "fuel" (or spilling it all over myself). These days, we are never very far from a USB cable if we need one in a pinch.While a little bulky, they aren't that much larger that the traditional lighter. They also won't spill lighter fluid in your pocket. They are water proof (within reason) and you don't have to replace wicks periodically. Flipping to top open is simple and has a retaining clip to help keep it closed. You really wouldn't want it come open in your pocket and have keys/coins accidentally push the lighter button...This lighter uses the newest type C USB cable which is really convenient as my phone does as well. One cable, to rule them all. I did have an issue getting the cable seated, so I hope this isn't indicative of a bigger problem, but for now it is working. I'll update if there are issues going forward.This lighter also has a small light with three settings - low, high, flashing. This is not intended to help you navigate the dense, dark jungle in the middle of the night, but if you drop your keys in the car or you can't find the keyhole on the door - this'll work. I usually carry a small flashlight with me, but that is part of my EDC when not at work. So, when at work, I don't usually carry my Batman utility belt worth of stuff and this adds a nice convenient option for a light if I'm digging around under a desk trying to find out if the ethernet cable has come loose.The lighter is so simple to use and as long as it has a charge, it will work every time, unlike the traditional lighter where you find yourself spinning your wheels (ha!) trying to get it to ignite.

It makes an extremely shrill sound when being used, but it's not loud to the point of hurting or anything. But honestly, in a survival situation I would not care in the slightest and that's what I got this for. Because it performs as I would need it to, I am not deducting any stars. It's waterproof, charges fast, allows for a lot of uses, has a light on it that's very bright, performs wonderfully, and is small and compact. It also has a safety lock on it to protect any children or anyone not paying attention and prevent accidental activations. I am very pleased with it and happy that I placed the order.I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in preparing for any kind of survival situation or just wants a lighter that is reliable and will always *work*. It's really nice to have dependable access to fire anytime, and though it relies on electricity, it will last more than long enough to ensure you are able to make it to safety or an electrical source, in the number of times that you will likely need the fire. Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.

I bought this lighter for my husband. It looks cool, but it barely worked. My husband lit two cigarette, then the battery was out. I charged over night; again, lit two cigarettes, battery was out again. I even changed charger, still the same. It’s very disappointing. They charged quite a bit for such a poor quality lighter. I rarely write reviews, but this is simply upsetting. I would like to warn other consumers so that they don’t waste money on this product.

I like this arc lighter, it is hard to light wide candles or places where you have to reach in, because the lid/cover only flips back so far, see the main picture with it open. That shows how far the cover rotates away, no farther. You need that cover though, don't take it off. Having this thing activate in your pocket would be an experience you don't want to have even once I'm sure. It lights candles quickly. Lights paper on fire quickly too. Took a bit to light a Firestarter compressed wood shavings puck, but it did it eventually. Handy when you don't need a lot of flame to saturate something on fire. This is good for a carry around lighter replacement.
