Functional Dual-Position Lighters

The 'DISSIM' Inverted Lighter Works to Light Fires and More

— April 21, 2020 — Lifestyle
The 'DISSIM' inverted lighter is an everyday carry (EDC) product that shakes up the user experience and provides an alternative functionality that will work effectively for use in a multitude of scenarios. The lighter features a specialized circle grip that allows it to be easily held in the hand in either the upward or downward orientation. This will allow them to use the light rightside-up or upside-down to make it ideal for use when camping to light fires, candles and more.

The 'DISSIM' inverted lighter was designed with disposable lighters in mind in order to help offer consumers an alternative that can be refilled on a continuous basis instead of needing to be thrown away once empty. The click-style ignition functionality offers an intuitive user experience, while the integrated dial allows for flame size changes.

2. Sustainable Consumer Goods - Innovation opportunity: Develop refillable lighters with environmentally sustainable materials that are friendly to the planet.
3. Consumer Electronics - Innovation opportunity: Create smart lighters that are technologically advanced and can detect and adjust the flame size according to environmental conditions.
