This Electric Candle Lighter Might Make Matches Obsolete

This lighter is amazing. It's better than matches. It's better than flint stones. It's better than sliced bread. Well, almost.

The convenient electric arc lighter by Leejie can't replace the matches in your emergency kit since it needs to be recharged, but for everything else, it's so much better.

It can be used over and over again. It's inexpensive and, dare we say, fun? Come on. It's like a tiny candle taser. How cool is that?

Some products are worth the hype, and this electric lighter is one of them.

Matches are still a necessity for some applications, but for everyday use, they're a pain for a number of reasons.

They don't always light on the first try, and it can be tricky to light multiple candles without burning yourself. They're also on the messy side, leaving soot on your fingers and any surface they touch.

This electric arc lighter is so much easier. It comes in white, black, blue and a gorgeous rose gold.

It's rechargeable.

The Leejie Candle Lighter is shockingly simple to use. Just charge it using the included USB cord, unplug it, switch it on and start lighting candles.

The battery life is remarkably good for such a small device. All you have to do is charge it again when the flame starts getting weak to make sure it's ready to go for next time.

It's totally safe.

Unlike some similar electric lighters, this one automatically shuts off after 10 seconds so there's no chance of leaving it on by mistake.

It's also windproof so you can easily light candles on windy camping trips.

And the entire candle lighter is barely the size of a pencil.

The product measurements are listed in millimeters, but they equate to about six inches long and half an inch wide. It's like a large, rose gold pencil.

Or, more aptly, a magic wand that shoots fire.

Candles with deep wicks are no match for this electric lighter.

Deep candles are where this electric candle lighter really shines.

With matches, it's hard to reach the wick without burning your fingers.

With this, that problem is nonexistent.

It's so much less obtrusive than a gas lighter, and less finicky to use.

It has 4.6 stars (out of 5) on Amazon with over 11,000 global ratings.

"Buy it!!!" said Jo. "Everyone who loves candles needs to own an electric candle lighter. This lighter is so easy to use!!"

Its electric blue glow makes for a cool party trick.

There are many happy customers.

"There's a lot to like about this product: it is portable, easily and quickly rechargeable (and yet the battery life is great), and has the on/off switch for when not in use to prevent accidental activation or battery drain," added aubergineapricot. "It works great.

"I'm interested in seeing how durable this product is and if the filaments/nodes will wear over time. However, so far I'm very pleased by its performance."

It's easy to use, even for people prone to singeing their fingers.

"I got tired of using matches and gas lighters," explained Stell. "I’d just end up burning my fingers or it wouldn’t light right away. This is super easy to use, doesn’t get hot, and as long as you charge it will always light."

Just don't lick it.

This really is the gift that keeps on giving.

"I love it," said Dani. "It makes my mom think it’s a vape and it gets her angry???? It’s easier to use and never runs out of gas...because it’s an electrical light lol. The better life is amazing. Love it. Don’t lick it though."

We can't recommend using it to prank your mom. Or licking it. Still, the product does what it's supposed to do like a dream.

If it works, it works.

Oh, and it's only 10 bucks.

Try it out. If you don't like it, Amazon has free returns.

But what's not to like?
