The task of starting a fire has evolved well beyond single-use matches, bulky flint/steel or ferro rods, and costly fuel lighters. The TRUE Plasma Lighter XR’s next generation technology is flameless, fuel-free, rechargeable, lightweight, and easy to use. On 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. Suitable for everyday carry, it is also ideal for storing in an emergency kit or adding it to your backpacking and camping gear as you hit the trail. The XR relies on plasma arc technology that is windproof up to 80 MPH and the rugged design is water-resistant and even floats so it can handle whatever mother nature throws at you. The reinforced ABS body and rubberized exterior is rugged and impact resistant, so it is built to last. The XR relies on a lithium polymer battery that is USB-C rechargeable and can fully charge in as little as 1.5 hours.
