What exactly is an electric lighter?

What is it called electric lighter candle in English?

In English it is called: arc lighter.
But you can also call it: barbecue lighter or bbq lighter usb flexible, camping lighter.

As the name suggests, USB electric lighter are lighters that run on electric power and do not require any other fuel, such as gasoline or gas, nor a stone. Probably, the most surprising and interesting thing about this type of lighters is that they do not emit a flame, but simply produce a luminous discharge that is capable of having the same effects as the flame resulting from the combustion of the gas. Its system is composed of 2 or 4 electrodes between which an electric arc or voltaic arc is generated that causes the "flame" of light.

The mechanism of a usb rechargeable electric lighter depends on a state-of-the-art battery that is responsible for storing electrical energy. To turn it on, we simply have to open the hinged lid, similar to that of the Zippo lighters, and press the button, which triggers the electric discharge between the electrodes and generates a luminous spark with enough power to be able to replace the flame of conventional lighters and perform daily activities, such as, for example, lighting cigarettes, candles, bonfires or barbecues.

It is the ideal companion for wind and rain. It comes completely without gas or gasoline and is charged simply by the USB cable. The high-voltage technology ensures a constant arc with which you can easily turn on various products without burning your fingers.

Types of electric lighters

There are several types of rechargeable USB lighters: the Tesla electric lighter, the plasma lighter, and the electric arc lighter. However, there are no major differences between them. All of them are high quality electric lighters, have a very modern design and are very light, since their weight usually ranges between 80 and 100 grams.

There are lighters with 2 electrodes (single voltaic arc) and also with 4 electrodes (double voltaic arc). Not surprisingly, the latter are more powerful, but they also need more power to operate, which means that their battery has a shorter duration. The most common is that the electronic lighters are double arc, although there are also very practical models, in which, when there is not enough battery for the two arcs to work, only one is turned on instead of stopping working completely.
