Collection: Candle Lighters

Candle Lighters with high-quality standards

Lighting should feel simple, precise and safe. Zippo candle lighters give you confident reach for jar candles, tealights and lanterns, with a choice of refillable butane or a rechargeable electric arc. The range includes models with or without a flexible neck, so you can reach deep wicks cleanly and keep your hand away from heat in everyday use.

A Stick lighter designed for everyday reach and control

If your routine centres on quick, tidy lighting indoors, the rechargeable stick lighter removes refuelling from the process. It creates a wind-resistant arc, charges via the included USB cable, and uses a Zippo flexible neck to guide the tip into narrow holders and deep glass cylinders; also, we grant a 1-year warranty and adurable metal housing for daily handling. In practice, you angle the neck into a tight jar, touch the arc to the wick and move on, which is ideal for tealights and table pieces where you want less heat near décor.

The advantages of our rechargeable candle lighter

• No butane refills: power up with the included USB cable and keep it ready without handling fuel, which is ideal when you light several tealights in tight glass holders every evening and want a tidy routine without refilling.
• Wind-resistant arc ignition that stays composed for everyday indoor use, so the arc touches the wick cleanly without a visible flame brushing the rim of a jar candle.
• Flexible neck that fits into tight spaces, letting you reach wicks in narrow holders and deep jars with control; it also threads easily between clustered décor when you prepare a dinner table.
• Durable metal construction with long use between charges, built for frequent lighting rounds throughout the week. If you want a complete at-home ambience, pair the lighter with spirit candles to bring fragrance and lighting together in one routine. For the lighter details, see the rechargeable candle lighter.

Prefer a visible flame and fine control outdoors? The Flex Neck Utility Lighter combines a wind-resistant dual flame with adjustable flame height and a safety button for calm, controlled starts; this helps when you are lighting a lantern on a breezy balcony or garden path, and when you want a slightly higher flame for thicker wicks or a small firelighter. The flexible neck and slim nozzle slip under hoods and into narrow chimneys, so your wrist stays clear, which also makes placing a flame near a grill opening or a camping stove port more precise. Finishes such as Chrome or Rubberised Black fit neatly with kitchen or garden gear.

Where housings are especially tall, the Flex Neck Utility Lighter XL puts reach first. You guide the long, 13-inch flexible neck to the ignition point, let the wind-resistant double flame do the work, and withdraw without tilting the vessel; that means you can stand back from tall hurricane cylinders and recessed lanterns while keeping sleeves clear. The Flex Neck Utility Lighter XL has adjustable flame control and a 2-year warranty for extra assurance.

Advantages of our butane candle lighters

• Wind resistant dual flame for reliable starts in light breeze on patios or balconies; useful for lanterns and garden torches at dusk.
• Adjustable flame height to match thicker wicks, paper kindling or firelighters, so you tune heat for kitchen prep, a grill area or a campsite.
• Flexible neck on Flex Neck models for safe access behind guards and into narrow chimneys; extra reach on Flex Neck XL with a 13-inch neck when housings are deep.
• Rugged metal build with a safety button to support careful handling around fuels and covers, helpful near wind guards on a camping stove.
• Two-year warranty on Flex Neck XL.

The long reach lighter collection also offers refillable butane stick lighters without a flexible neck for short-reach jobs, for example an open shelf where access is straightforward and articulation is not needed.

Choosing made easy

• Choose the Rechargeable Candle Lighter if you mainly light indoor jar candles and tealights and want flameless, wind-resistant ignition with a flexible neckand USB charging with a 1-year warranty. This suits quick evening set-ups where you move from one holder to the next and prefer not to handle fuel.
• Choose the Flex Neck Utility Lighter if you move between patio, balcony and garden and want a wind-resistant dual flame with adjustable flame height and a safety button for precise control. It is a practical pick for lanterns in light breeze, for grill starts, and for placing a flame through a guard.
• Choose the Flex Neck Utility Lighter XLif your décor uses tall cylinders or deep lanterns and you need a 13-inch flexible neck, adjustable flame control and a 2-year warranty for extra assurance; the added reach lets you stand clear while you light recessed wicks.
• Choose a refillable butane candle lighter without a flexible neck if your tasks are short-reach and straightforward, and articulation is not required.

ARC Plasma Candle Lighters

The rechargeable candle lighter is also an ARC plasma lighter, using a wind-resistant electric arc instead of a traditional flame. This type of plasma lighter is rechargeable via USB and provides flameless ignition for candles, tealights and other everyday lighting needs.

Care, refilling and safe handling

If you choose the rechargeable long candle lighter, connect the included cable, charge, and store it where you set up in the evening. The metal construction and flexible neck are made for daily handling and access to tight spaces.

If you prefer butane, refill your Flex Neck and other butane candle lighters withZippo Butane Gas 100 ml. Use it for your candle lighters and utility lighters; refill away from heat and ignition sources, allow a short pause so the fuel settles, then light for consistent performance.

Operate the child-resistant safety correctly, do not keep the flame lit for more than 30 seconds, and wait at least two minutes after refilling before using the lighter again. These points come from the Mini MPL manual and apply broadly to butane utility formats used for candles. Mini MPL instructions (PDF)

Warranty and support, built in

The rechargeable candle lighter lists a 1-year warranty, and Zippo UK provides a dedicated repair page for rechargeable candle lighters with packing advice, timelines and the handling address in Milton Keynes; follow that route rather than attempting repairs yourself.

For the Flex Neck Utility Lighter XL, you get a full 2-year warranty. If you need broader assistance, the UK Repair Service hub groups all repair categories and forms, while the Support Centre collects care guides and order topics in one place.

Across this range, Zippo focuses on durable, refillable construction, wind-resistant ignition and clear UK service routes that help you keep a tool in use rather than replace it. You see this in the metal housings and flexible necks designed for frequent handling, in the arc or dual-flame systems built for everyday conditions, and in the repair and support pages that lay out care and repair steps in detail.
