A flameless method for igniting candles utilizes an electrically generated arc, often powered by a rechargeable battery. These devices offer a safer alternative to traditional lighters or matches, eliminating the need for an open flame. A typical example involves aiming the device’s extended nozzle at a candle wick and pressing a button to activate the arc.
This approach presents several advantages. The absence of a flame reduces the risk of burns and accidental fires, particularly in households with children or pets. Furthermore, these devices perform reliably in various weather conditions, unaffected by wind or rain. Their rechargeable nature contributes to sustainability, minimizing waste from disposable lighters. Historically, these devices arose from the broader development of electronic ignition systems, evolving from simpler piezoelectric igniters to sophisticated arc-generating technology.
