Frequently asked questions
The Motli Light plasma lighter's battery life varies based on usage, but on a single charge, it can typically light candles, BBQs, or any other items about 500-600 times. The battery is rechargeable, ensuring you can use it multiple times with just one charge.
Yes, the Motli Light plasma lighter is designed with safety in mind. It features a safety lock to prevent accidental ignition and does not produce a flame, making it safer around children and pets than traditional lighters. However, as with any ignition device, it is recommended to keep it out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
The Motli Light plasma lighter is generally allowed in checked luggage according to TSA guidelines for lighters without fuel. However, regulations can vary by airline and can change, so it is always best to check with your airline before traveling. The lighter does not contain liquid fuel, making it safer and more likely to be accepted for travel.
Using the flashlight feature will consume battery power, which can impact the overall battery life and the number of times you can light a candle or BBQ before needing a recharge. However, the Motli Light is designed for efficiency, and even with regular use of the flashlight, it still offers a robust number of lights per charge. It's perfect for camping or emergencies when a light source is as necessary as a lighter.

Should I Buy It?
Given the mixed reviews, purchase this lighter if you value convenience and eco-friendliness over long-term reliability. It seems well-suited for those who enjoy technology and are looking for a rechargeable, multifunctional lighter, keeping in mind the potential need for careful handling. However, if consistent performance and durability are top priorities, you might want to consider other options or be prepared to handle potential charging issues. Buyer discretion is advised.
The box was a bit tattered upon receipt so I question if this was a return (which makes me nervous that something is wrong with it…we’ll see). First, the instructions are available via the QR code on the box - the company website says the instructions are also printed on the inside of the box, but that was not the case with mine. Second, remember to hold every button for a couple seconds to get it to work - whether it’s the on/off button or the button for the light - it’s not instantaneous so patience is a virtue. Third, mine arrived with a charge but I topped it off and gave it a try - it worked beautifully. And so far I haven’t had any of the issues others have reported (most notably, the plastic casing didn’t burn). BUT a lot of the complaints seem to be that the lighter would not take a second charge or that the charge only lasted a very short time. The company claims the product can light up to 1000 times under one charge. I’ll keep count and report back. I’ll also report back after recharging the device whether or not it continued to work. Time will tell. So, my initial thoughts are this is a cool device, albeit kind of expensive. And, most importantly, it works! It does not feel substantial at all though so I am betting if I were to drop it by accident that would be the end of it. Again, time will tell. I will update my review when I have more to report, but so far so good…

This was purchased to be a gift. The color I chose is hot pink and it is true to the picture advertised. Although it came out of the box with a partial battery charge, I did fully charge it and then test it by lighting a candle before wrapping it up for my mom’s birthday. The lighter is larger than I expected, but I don’t mind the size. My husband says it feels cheap, which is just based on the weight and feel of the lighter in hand. I caught this on a fall Prime Day deal and I don’t feel that I overpaid. I found the lighter easy to operate and am hoping my mother gets some good use out of it. She is a smoker, loves candles, and cooks on the grill regularly so I think she will enjoy it.

My boyfriend loves this thing, and has been using it to light his candles for about 9 months now. The tip burned a little, but he doesn't care. He loves that he doesn't have to charge it very often, and how much safer it is compared to cigarette lighters.

I got this for my girlfriend because she wanted a lighter for her candles that she wouldn’t mind being on the table. She loves the look of it and how easy it is to use, even though it feels somewhat cheaply made. The battery lasts forever and lights the wicks fast.

Dead on arrival. Spent hours charging, power indicator LEDs were all lit, no activity at all on activation. Also needs you to scan a QR code to get to the instructions, which is the fastest way to give your phone malware that I've seen on a commercially-available product. UPDATE: So in a fit of curiosity I decided to take this apart and try to figure out what was actually wrong with it, if I could fix it or at least salvage some part of it for reuse elsewhere. The TL;DR is that the external (press-able) power button was misaligned in the case so that it would never contact the internal power button (the one that actually turns things on) no matter how much it was pressed. Everything else inside is surprisingly well made, and with a minor repair the thing now works perfectly fine. This would be five stars if I didn't have to fix the thing myself day 1. The entire case is held together with pegs, half of which will break when you take it apart, not screws but at least not glue - the case goes back together securely even with half the pegs broken. A mini-prybar or sturdy piece of thin metal is recommended if you attempt this. The insides are held together with a couple of tiny screws and a spring (spring just auto-retracts the contacts), all of which can be easily accessed once the case is open. The internal circuitry actually appears to be well made for what it is - there are two boards, both coated, connected through a removable pin connector that is much less flimsy than the case pins despite being incredibly tiny. The other internal electrical bits are similarly surprisingly not horribly flimsy, although some of the internal cabling is very very tiny. There are two switches, one for on-off overall power and a separate one for on-off of the actual arc, both of which are hard mechanical contacts and not soft ones. The overall power switch is a simple latching click on click off, holding either state when not being actively pressed; the arc switch is non-latching and only remains on when being actively pressed. These switches are entirely contained within the case and not directly pressed by the user, but are instead pressed indirectly through a plastic switch that sticks part way out of the case - the overall power is the labeled button visible on the case that is itself directly pressing the real switch, and the arc power is the slider (which has a few more plastic linkages but is the same idea). The problem with these is that they are drop-in pieces only, not attached to the case or internals in any way at all. They just sit there, held in place only by their respective cutouts in the case, cutouts which are rather loose and allow for deviations in exact location. There's nothing to positively align them, so someone can easily drop it in during assembly (or re-assembly, if you're trying this yourself) in such a way that the plastic bits will completely miss the actual switch when pressed. The issue here is with assembly, not internal part quality. A simple issue to fix, just open the case and nudge the plastic bit around until it lines up then close the case again without bumping the plastic bit you just moved, but having to fix anything day 1 is incredibly obnoxious.

I bought this for my mom as kind of a "wow that looks cool, let's try it out" Christmas gift. Expectations were exceeded. This thing is like a micro taser. Definitely worth getting for the price if you're curious. It'll ignite candle wicks, fuses, paper, and small pieces of wood (like a match stick). Really anything that can fit in between the two little probes that the electrical arc passes through. I have not attempted to shock myself or anyone else, but I'd imagine it would hurt and probably leave a little burn mark. I definitely would not give it to a small child to play with, but there's definitely an argument to be had over if this is safer than a regular butane lighter.
