SUPRUS Rechargeable Electric Arc Lighter with 360° Flexible Neck (Green)
Product description
The essentials
If you’re fed up with normal candle lighters that struggle in gusty weather, the SUPRUS Rechargeable Electric Arc Lighter is built around a different idea: a flameless plasma arc, powered by a rechargeable battery, and aimed at quick ignition for candles and outdoor use. The 360° flexible neck is the other big point here—on paper it’s meant to let you aim the heat where you need it, without contorting your wrist.
It’s also designed with convenience in mind. You don’t have to keep buying disposables, and you can recharge via USB, which is handy if you already keep a power bank or laptop charger around.
That said, it’s not one of those “set and forget” gadgets that works instantly in every situation. The performance depends a bit on how close you hold it to the target and whether the environment is genuinely challenging (strong wind, wet conditions, and so on). Still, for day-to-day candle, stove and BBQ grill lighting, it has a lot going for it.
What it’s for (and where it makes sense)
This lighter is positioned for people who want a safer, rechargeable option for lighting candles and using around stoves, BBQ grills and during camping or hiking. The flexible 360° neck also suggests it’s meant for situations where you need a bit of reach or angle control—like lighting a candle in a glass holder where you don’t want to get your fingers too close.
A practical example: say you’re lighting a candle on a table outdoors and the air is moving. Instead of relying on a flame that can be pushed around, an arc-based ignition approach is intended to keep working even when conditions aren’t ideal.
If you’re mostly using it indoors in calm conditions, a standard lighter will do the job just fine. The SUPRUS tends to feel most worthwhile when you expect wind, outdoor cooking, or the occasional awkward angle.
Key features that actually matter
The headline features are all pretty clear from the design, and they’re the ones that change how the lighter behaves.
- 360° rotatable and bendable neck: The neck can be rotated and bent to suit different applications. This is more than a gimmick if you regularly light candles in holders or need to aim precisely.
- USB rechargeable battery: The lighter uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery and is stated to be “recirculated 500 times”. You’re also meant to be able to charge it via a computer, power bank, or similar USB source.
- Windproof plasma technology: It uses flameless plasma technology, intended to resist being blown out by strong wind or wet weather.
- Safety-focused controls: There’s a child-proof switch on the on/off button, plus an automatic shut-off/spark stop mechanism after 7 seconds.
- Battery display with LEDs: Four LED lights are included to show battery volume in real time.
One limitation to keep in mind: the advertised “windproof” and “wet weather” benefit is about reducing flame blow-out, but nothing can fully eliminate all variables outdoors. If the target is very exposed or the ignition timing is off, you may still need a couple of attempts.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It’s a sensible pick if you want a rechargeable lighter for candles and outdoor lighting tasks, especially if you’ve found traditional flames unreliable in windy or damp conditions. The flexible neck also helps if you value aiming accuracy over plain reach.
It may not suit you if you simply want the cheapest, most basic lighter for occasional indoor candles. The extra features (recharge, LED display, safety switch) are helpful, but they can be overkill if you rarely use a lighter.
Also worth noting: this is a rechargeable device, so you’ll need to keep it topped up. If you prefer a fully disposable “grab and go” approach with no charging habits, you might find it less convenient.
Care and use tips
To get the best results, treat it like a tool rather than a traditional flame lighter. Aim the arc at the candle/stove point you’re trying to ignite and give it the few seconds it’s designed for—there’s an auto-stop after 7 seconds, so don’t keep holding it in the same way as you might with a flame.
The stainless steel housing and hanging hook hint at storage that’s a bit more organised than loose lighters in a drawer. If you store it where it’s easy to grab, you’ll be more likely to use it for outdoor meals and trips.
Mini FAQ
Is it windproof?
The lighter is designed with flameless plasma technology intended to protect against strong wind and wet weather, so it should be more reliable outdoors than a typical flame-based lighter.
How do you charge it?
It’s USB rechargeable. The pack includes a USB charging cable, and the description notes you can charge it using a computer, power bank, or similar USB power sources.
Does it have a safety lock?
Yes. It includes a child-proof switch at the on/off button, plus an automatic spark stop/shut down after 7 seconds.
What’s the flexible neck for?
The 360° rotatable and bendable neck is meant to let you adjust the angle for different applications, which can make lighting candles in holders or odd positions easier.
Final verdict
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you need a rechargeable electric arc lighter for candles and outdoor tasks, and you like the idea of a 360° flexible neck for aiming. The combination of USB charging, an LED battery indicator, and safety features makes it feel practical rather than just “fancy”.
Better avoided if you mostly use lighters indoors in calm conditions and you don’t want the small hassle of charging a device. It’s also not the best match if you’re expecting a fully hands-off, instant ignition experience in every outdoor scenario—like any tool, it works best when you use it with the intended technique and timing.
