Electric Arc Candle Lighter with Safety Switch

If the usual lighter is the tiny plastic clicker that dies on the second use, this replaces it with something that uses a battery and an electric arc to light a wick. You hold it like a small rod, press the switch and a brief, flameless spark does the job. It fits comfortably in a hand.

You are buying the thing that lights the candle, not the candle, and it takes the fiddling out of the first match. It is offered for women and men and suits stocking or Valentine gifts. A safety switch needs a conscious press before the arc appears, which some people will like.
