The act of lighting a fire has evolved far beyond disposable matches, bulky flint/steel or iron rods, and expensive butane lighters. The next-generation technology of the True Utility PLASMA LIGHTER XR is flameless, fuel-free, rechargeable, lightweight, and easy to use. With a full charge, the PLASMA LIGHTER XR offers the equivalent of over 300 matches in a compact design that easily fits in your pocket. The unique retractable and flexible neck makes it safer to use for a variety of lighting tasks. It is suitable not only for everyday use but also for storage in an emergency kit or as part of your backpacking and camping gear when you’re on the go. The XR is based on plasma arc technology, which is windproof up to 130 km/h, and the rugged design is IPX6 waterproof and even floats, so it can handle whatever Mother Nature throws at you. The reinforced ABS casing and rubberized exterior are tough and shock-resistant, designed for long-lasting durability. The XR features a 220 mAh lithium-polymer battery that is rechargeable via USB-C and can be fully charged in just 1.5 hours.
