ELECTRONIC CANDLE LIGHTER

摘要

A battery powered electronic candle lighter that generates an arc of electricity across electrodes to ignite a candle wick. The candle wick is positioned within the arc gap and the lighter is activated to generate an arc. The arc can be maintained by holding the arc generation button depressed. The very high temperature of the electrical arc ignites the materials within the candle wick to cause combustion. The electronic candle lighter of the present invention also has safety functionality to prevent accidents and misuse.
