I think these might work better if you had a more reliable sun. Here It rises way too early in the morning to be useful and it sets just when you could use it. We actually have to turn on the lights after 8:00 p.m. I thought these lighters would be great emergency campground equipment but I can’t get it to light anything no matter how I angle it into the sun I’ve done it for 15-20 minutes trying to get it at noon time in the middle of summer and haven’t been able to even get a spark. I’m sure it’s not the fine product I’m sure it’s the defective sun

I tried this thing in overcast weather and direct sunlight with some dryer lint. After 5 minutes I got a little smoke but that’s it. I pulled out my magnifying glass– 8 seconds and I had an open flame. Skip this thing and buy a good piece of glass.
For being made of plastic it is actually pretty well made for the cost. I thought it would be metal though.

These were delivered unassembled I was able to assemble them because I have owned a solar lighter previously. If you have never assembled one of these you might want to try another brand. All solar lighters similar to these scratch easily. Be careful when you assemble them. They work great otherwise.

My son and I used this. Works great. Have your kindling ready

In two tries on hot sunny days I could not get them to work.
Since cigarettes don’t exist in the 21st century, I tried using toilet paper in the holder.
Either they need an aiming device, since it is impossible to tell if they are pointed at the sun, or they need a larger diameter, or both.
Yeah I know they want to be compact, but as is, I have not got them to work yet. Compact is nice, but actually being functional is required.
And now it is pushing winter, so I probably won’t even try again until summer.
Cool idea….implementation is not good enough.

I have lived on a sailboat for 20 years and had these as a part of my emergency, storm preparedness kit! I have used them several times after a hurricane and now in the mountains of Oregon. Lights each and every time! They are inexpensive enough, and people will love you when you are the only one with a spark!

Don’t listen to the people who say it doesn’t work or it’s made of plastic blah blah. Yes it’s made of plastic snd of course it has to be sunny for it to work but you also have to point it up towards the sun for it to work and it’s only going to work at that length in the picture. If you want to ignite something that isn’t a cigarette, take the spring out and hold what you want to ignite at the correct distance where the mirror’s focal point is. Also, of course smoking it bad, but i think cigarettes taste cleaner when you light them with this thing. A+ product, i would recommend it to anyone who likes cool toys or anyone who has a thing for parabolic mirrors.

Got these for camping, I was happy they worked so well! Just FYI, they only work when the sun is out, closer to noon the better!
