{"product_id":"rechargeable-match-shaped-electric-lighter-with-usb-type-c-charging","title":"Rechargeable Match-Shaped Electric Lighter with USB Type-C Charging","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003erechargeable electric lighter\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped like an oversized matchstick, used to light candles, gas cookers, ovens and jiko charcoal starters without matches or lighter fluid. It charges with a \u003cstrong\u003eUSB Type-C cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it tops up from the same charger as your phone and you never have to buy another box of damp matches. The long body keeps your fingers well away from the burner or the bottom of a deep candle jar. A \u003cstrong\u003eslide switch\u003c\/strong\u003e on the side pushes up to expose the tip and ignite, then slides down to hide the ignition port, which helps stop accidental lighting when it is sitting in a drawer within reach of children. A ring at the end lets it hang on a hook beside the cooker, and the playful wood-grain body with a red tip makes it a nice little gift. Handy in every Kenyan kitchen, and especially during power cuts when you need candles lit quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRechargeable electric lighter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Type-C cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatchstick shape, wood-grain body with red tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlide switch hides the ignition port when not in use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHanging ring, charge indicator lights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCandles, gas cookers, ovens, braai and camping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharge it fully before first use and then top it up whenever the indicator lights drop, rather than waiting for it to die mid-dinner. An electric lighter works by heat at the tip, so hold it directly at the gas outlet or candle wick for a second rather than waving it nearby. Keep the tip clean and dry; wipe away any wax or grease once it has cooled. Always slide the switch back down after use so the port is covered, and store it hanging on a hook or in a drawer away from small children. Avoid using it in heavy rain or near spilled cooking oil. It makes a thoughtful housewarming or Christmas gift alongside a candle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with matches, it never gets damp, never runs out mid-box and keeps your hand far from the flame. Compared with a gas-refill kitchen lighter, there is no fuel to buy or leak, and it recharges from a phone charger. The trade-off is that it needs charging, so keep it topped up if you rely on it daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I charge it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlug in the USB Type-C cable to a phone charger or laptop USB port.
