LcFun Electric Lighter, Plasma Lighter Waterproof Arc Lighter Windproof USB Lighter Rechargeable with Emergency Whistle for Hiking, Camping, Adven...

It seems to be durable and legit

Works great in rain or wind. Battery lasts at least 3-days between charging

When I first received this lighter, it worked great. After a couple of weeks, it stopped working. I was going to return it but came to realize if I pushed the.starter button firmly, it would light. Sometimes I still need to push it a couple of times. So far, it works most of the time. I keep a regular lighter as backup for days it's not raining or not windy. I don't really know when it's low on a charge. If I've used it for a few days, I'll recharge it. Will the LiOn battery eventually die completely? Probably. Hopefully not sooner than later. I chose not to return it and, if the battery eventually dies, I'll buy another. These plasma lighters are pretty inexpensive. Certainly cheaper than buying Bics frequently and this type of lighter is great for windy days. Santa Ana winds can be brutal. Updated review: The Seller saw my review and just sent me a new lighter without me requesting one. Now that's great customer service. It works great.

I recently acquired the LcFun Electric Lighter, and it has quickly become an indispensable part of my everyday carry. Not only does it serve as a reliable source of fire in various situations, but I've also combined it with a solar charger, ensuring that it's always ready to provide fire for my family, regardless of the circumstances. The LcFun Electric Lighter boasts impressive features, starting with its windproof and waterproof design. It's a flameless dual arc plasma lighter, which means it works flawlessly even in challenging weather conditions. Whether it's windy, rainy, or snowy, this lighter never lets me down. What sets this lighter apart is its USB C rechargeable capability. This is where the solar charger comes into play. By using a solar charger, I can keep the LcFun Electric Lighter charged no matter where I am. This feature is a game-changer for me, especially when I'm outdoors or in emergency situations where traditional lighters might fail. The dual arc design produces a powerful and consistent flame, making it easy to start fires, light candles, or ignite stoves and grills. It's not just a convenience; it's a reliable tool for ensuring my family's safety and comfort. The build quality of this lighter is top-notch, and it feels durable and sturdy in hand. The safety features, like the automatic shut-off after 10 seconds of continuous use, give me peace of mind. In summary, the LcFun Electric Lighter, paired with a solar charger I also purchased from ZeeBooth, has become an essential part of my preparedness kit. Its windproof, waterproof, and dual arc design make it a reliable source of fire, and the solar charging capability ensures that it's always ready when I need it. I highly recommend this lighter to anyone looking for a dependable fire-starting solution, especially in emergency situations.

Update 9/30/20 - Received my replacement I bought. Opened it up in the kitchen and my daughter was working in the living room. Pressed the switch to light it and she immediately yelled at me to stop. She didn't even know I bought a new one. It's uncanny, but real. Now I have one for each of my vehicles for emergencies. Update 9/19/20 - Manufacturer contacted me within hours of my email. They indicated that this noise was a result of the arc being generated and there was nothing they could do about it. They said they were very sorry and offered to refund my entire purchase price and I could keep the lighter. I asked if I could get a replacement instead, but there may have been a communication gap as they just refunded me. I plan to buy another to see if this was a one-off or if it really is a result of the arc generation. Plus I wasnt trying to get my lighter for free; they provided a lighter that worked and started a fire as advertised. Will update after receiving the new one. O.P.- Overall I like this lighter. I just got so I can't comment on longevity of the charge or the unit itself. Please note that I don't smoke so am not going to be using this as a daily user. This is going to be kept in the console of my truck for starting fires while camping, etc. Pros: - Plasma arcs are hot. They start a paper towel on fire instantly. - I purchased the orange one, and it's arc rods are situated where the plasma flows flat, versus some of the colors where the plasma flows cross-wise. I'm sure that this statement is quite confusing. Select the different lighter colors and then look at the layout of the plasma generating rods. The pictures on ZeeBooth are true as of this writing, per the layout. - Lighter floats as advertised and kept water out. - With regard to the battery and how many uses you can get and how long it will last in storage, I can't yet comment on this. It's made in China and I'm in the US. Lets assume that it takes at least a month from manufacture to crossing the ocean to ZeeBooth packing and shipping to arrival at my house. I didn't charge it when it arrived, and I have sparked it over 50 times since getting it. The battery appears to hold a charge for a decent amount of time. Cons: - As I described in the headline, this lighter has an amazingly quirky flaw. Apparently when turned on, it generates an extremely high-pitched squeal. The first time I tried the lighter the dog ran away from me. I just figured he was scared of the lighter itself (he's scared of his own shadow). Then in subsequent lightings, my kids both yelled across the house asking "what's that noise?" I have lost a lot of my hearing over the years, so I can't hear it. I thought they were messing with me, so we ran a test. I sent them across the house (2 rooms over and probably 30+ feet away) and had them yell every time I lit the lighter. They got it right 100% of the time. Doesn't bother me as I can't hear it and it's only for very infrequent use. Just thought I'd throw this out there to anyone this may affect. I do plan to contact the manufacturer about the high-pitched noise and see if this is a flaw in mine or it happens in all of them. If I get a response, I'll update this review. Same with the battery life/longevity. So far so good. I hope I have helped your purchasing decision of this product.
