USB Rechargeable Lighters

The Trail Blazer is Windproof and Flameless and Lasts up to 300 Lights

— November 11, 2019 — Eco
According to a recent study, over 350 million lighters are sent to landfill each year and take over four centuries to decompose, thankfully, in an effort to create a sustainable alternative, one company has launched a USB rechargeable lighter called the 'Trail Blazer.' It can be used to light candles, campfires, barbeques and more.

This eco-friendly fire source is flameless and uses a lithium-ion battery in place of butane -- this ensures the Trail Blazer will never run out of fuel and simply needs to be recharged like your smartphone once it runs out of battery. On a single charge, the rechargeable lighter can produce up to 300 lights. Moreover, this gadget is ultra-durable and can work in harsh weather conditions thanks to its windproof abilities.
