Matchstick Electric Lighter – rechargeable plasma lighter in oversized matchstick look. This clever lighter by Kikkerland looks like a giant match but works entirely without gas or flame: a plasma arc generates pinpoint heat – windproof, odourless, and rechargeable via USB again and again.
At 23.7 cm long it reaches candles, incense sticks, grills and campfires without burning your fingers. The matte zinc body with ABS tip feels solid and premium in the hand, and the arc activates at the press of a button. Sustainable: no disposable gas, no more single-use lighters in the bin.

Frequently asked questions
How does a plasma arc work?
A hot plasma arc forms between two electrodes, delivering pinpoint heat like a flameless mini-torch – perfect for igniting, less suited as a heat source.
How do I charge it?
Via USB cable (included). One full charge lasts several hundred ignitions.
Can I take it on a plane?
Plasma lighters usually cannot go in carry-on or checked baggage – please check airline rules before flying.
Is it a good gift?
Absolutely – a long-lasting, design-driven gift for outdoor fans, cooks, yogis and candle lovers.
