This lighter performs excellently in demanding conditions – it works flawlessly even in the wind. Its modern design and comfortable grip are big advantages. Definitely worth recommending.
Badger Outdoor Plasma Lighter
A modern plasma lighter, which instead of a flame uses high-temperature electric arcs, created by the flow of plasma. It is an alternative to traditional models, such as incandescent or flame lighters.
Equipped with two crossing electric arcs, generated by four electrodes, it guarantees reliable operation even in adverse weather conditions such as wind, rain or snow.
Durability and water resistance
The sturdy case made of durable plastic shows resistance to mechanical damage and falls. Thanks to the rubber gasket, located between the head and the protective flap, the lighter is waterproof.
The matte finish prevents the device from slipping from your hand, which is especially useful in harsh conditions such as rain.
Compactness and light weight
Measuring 69 x 48 x 18 mm and weighing just 50 g, the model is extremely handy. It fits easily in a pocket, can be clipped to a backpack or hung around the neck thanks to the included cord. The case has a hole for easy attachment.
Built-in Li-Ion battery and battery indicator
The lighter has a built-in 220 mAh lithium-ion battery, which offers up to 300 charging cycles. The device operates on 3.7 volts and charges via a micro-USB cable (set) in ≤ 1.5 hours.
An LED indicator shows the status of the battery - blue indicates a full charge, and red indicates the need to plug in for charging.

Delivered in a box, the lighter is an ideal gift for enthusiasts of outdoor pursuits, survival skills, or cutting-edge gadgets.

Purchased in a physical store as a gift for a smoker. The recipient is satisfied. The product is well-made. Previously, they used a petrol lighter, and now they appreciate the convenience of use and the absence of the smell of gasoline. The only downside is the green color – it's easy to lose because of this.

This plasma lighter looks modern and instantly sparks curiosity. There is no open flame, yet it feels even more reliable and controlled than an ordinary lighter. It works consistently, isn't afraid of wind, which is especially nice when outside or on a trip. The case feels solid, nothing is loose, and the lid closes securely. It's easy to use, holds a charge well, and the actual lighting process looks even a bit futuristic. There's a sense that this is not just a trivial accessory, but a truly useful item that quickly becomes part of your everyday use and you get used to it very fast.
-
An interesting gadget, unfortunately using it is not very comfortable mainly due to the opening angle of the case. This lighter is also not very durable. I definitely don’t recommend it for lighting candles – mine broke quickly and after a year of occasional use, it stopped working. Wax from the wicks would gather around the electrodes and cleaning didn't help. It works best for lighting paper or thin wood.
-
I used it in everyday minor situations, and my overall impression remained quite consistent and positive. It works steadily, without the need to adjust anything or get used to it. Everything is simple and clear to use, it feels comfortable in the hand. Its appearance is neat, and it doesn’t give the impression of being random or temporary. Over time, there was no irritation or distrust in its operation. Overall, this is a practical option for regular use that calmly performs its function without surprises or inflated expectations.
-
For a long time, I used a petrol lighter daily, but this time I decided to try the Badger plasma lighter instead of a petrol one. What I really liked is that there's no need to buy or refill anything — it's completely maintenance-free.
-
I received this lighter as a gift and I probably wouldn't have bought it myself. First of all, the color – finding it in the grass after dark is almost impossible. Good luck. The waterproof case is fine, but what if it falls into water while open? I haven't tested it, I don't want to damage it. In my opinion, the most reliable "igniter" is a flint, which Poles really make well. I'm not advertising, but those who know will know which brand I'm talking about. Personally, I wouldn't trust this equipment, maybe it will be suitable for smokers.
-
Pros: modern design, exceptionally high flame temperature. Cons: 1/ The flame is highly concentrated near the electrodes, which makes it difficult to light candles, lanterns, or gas burners. 2/ The device broke down quickly.
-
This is my first lighter of this kind and I am pleasantly surprised. It is very efficient, gives a strong flame, and works great even in strong wind. The packaging is airtight. It’s a good product at a reasonable price.
-
A good arc lighter that is worth its price. The case is resistant to any external factors, including falls from a height ;) It has never let me down in the field, I have used it several times while camping. I recommend it!
-
After closing it with the metal clasp, I think it’s well protected against water. I’m happy with the USB-C port because it’s standard now and there’s no need to carry extra cables. As for battery life, I can’t comment yet because I haven’t managed to drain it completely.
-
Very good equipment for tough weather conditions, ideal in emergencies. For everyday use, it won’t replace a flame lighter for every task. Sturdy case protects the interior well, as long as it's closed tightly.
-
This is an excellent alternative to regular lighters. It works even in windy and rainy conditions. Charges quickly via USB and is highly efficient. Ideal for any tourist.
-
It works even in very bad weather conditions. It has a military look, which makes it a great gift – every man will be happy to receive such a gadget. I recommend it!
-
Great solution for unfavorable weather conditions. Works well in emergency situations. For everyday tasks, it's not always useful due to the lack of a real flame. The case is durable, but sand can stick to it, so it's easy to get dirty in rough terrain. When properly closed, the interior stays well protected.
