ZORACook Arc Lighter — USB Rechargeable, Flameless

ZORACook Arc BBQ Lighter — ₹189. A USB-rechargeable electric arc lighter with a 360° flexible neck. No gas, no flint, no refills — and the arc cannot be blown out by wind. All payment methods accepted — cash on delivery, UPI, cards, wallets and net banking. Free delivery across India, no minimum order, delivered in 3–5 days.

Also called an electric lighter, a plasma lighter or a rechargeable BBQ lighter — it is the same thing: a battery-powered electric arc instead of a flame. It lights gas stoves, BBQ charcoal, candles, diyas and agarbatti.

One rechargeable lighter for the stove, the pooja thali and the BBQ

The ZORACook Arc BBQ Lighter replaces the drawer full of half-working plastic lighters. It uses a flameless electric arc instead of a flame, so wind does not put it out — which is exactly why it works on a balcony, at a barbecue, and in front of an open window during pooja.

The 360° flexible neck bends to reach a deep burner, the bottom of a tall candle jar, or an agarbatti held at an awkward angle. One full charge gives about 200 ignitions, so for most households a charge lasts weeks. Prefer a piezo spark lighter for your gas stove? See the full kitchen gas lighter range.

Arc lighter as a BBQ lighter, grill lighter and electric lighter for gas stove

Use it as a BBQ lighter or grill lighter to start charcoal without lighter fluid or matches, and as an electric lighter for your gas stove in the kitchen. Because it is a USB lighter with no gas inside, the same rechargeable lighter also works for candles, diyas and agarbatti.

The flexible neck keeps your hand away from hot coals, and the safety lock stops it firing by accident in a bag or drawer.

Features

• About 200 ignitions per full charge — weeks of normal household use between charges.
• Flameless electric arc — windproof, and nothing to blow out on a balcony or at a BBQ.
• 360° flexible neck — reaches deep burners, tall candle jars and awkward angles.
• USB rechargeable — no gas, no flint, no refills, nothing to buy again.
• Safety lock — will not fire in a drawer or in a child's hand by accident.
• Auto cut-off — the arc stops on its own after a few seconds so it cannot overheat.

Specifications

How to use

1. Charge fully over USB before first use, using the cable in the box — a full charge takes about 1–1.5 hours. The indicator shows when charging is complete.
2. Slide the safety lock to the unlocked position.
3. Bend the neck to the angle you need — it holds its shape.
4. Press the button. The arc appears between the two electrodes at the tip.
5. Hold the arc against the gas, wick or charcoal until it catches, then release. Re-lock the switch before putting it away.

Care and charging tips: arc lighter care guide.

Safety instructions

• Keep the safety lock engaged when the lighter is not in use, especially around children.
• Never touch the electrodes while the arc is firing.
• Do not hold the button down continuously — the auto cut-off is there for a reason.
• Keep the lighter dry. If the tip gets damp, let it dry fully before firing.
• Charge with a normal USB source; do not leave it charging unattended overnight.
• Do not attempt to refill it with butane — it holds no gas.

Warranty

The Arc BBQ Lighter carries a 1 year warranty, exactly as printed on its box.

The warranty covers manufacturing defects, or functional issues caused by a manufacturing fault, during the applicable warranty period.

The warranty does not cover physical damage, breakage, dents, cracks or scratches; damage caused by dropping, improper handling, misuse or accidents; or any damage occurring after delivery due to external reasons.

To raise a claim, email support@zoracook.com with your order number and details of the fault. This warranty applies to the Arc BBQ Lighter only — no other ZORACook product carries one.

FAQ

How many times can I light it on one charge?

About 200 ignitions per full charge. For a household lighting a stove and a few diyas daily, that is several weeks.

Can I refill it with butane gas?

No. It is electric and holds no gas at all. Butane cans are for our stoves and torches, not for this lighter.

Will it light a diya or agarbatti?

Yes — that is what the flexible neck is for. A piezo spark lighter will not, because it produces a spark and no standing flame.

Does it work outdoors in wind?

Yes. There is no flame, so there is nothing for wind to blow out. It is the most reliable option for balcony cooking and barbecues.

Which payment methods do you accept?

All of them — cash on delivery, UPI, credit and debit cards, wallets and net banking. Delivery is free across India with no minimum order value.

Is the Arc BBQ Lighter covered by a warranty?

Yes — 1 year, as printed on the box. It covers manufacturing defects, or functional issues caused by a manufacturing fault, during the applicable warranty period. It does not cover physical damage, breakage, dents, cracks or scratches, damage caused by dropping, improper handling, misuse or accidents, or any damage occurring after delivery due to external reasons. Email support@zoracook.com with your order number to raise a claim. No other ZORACook product carries a warranty.

Is this a BBQ lighter for a charcoal grill?

Yes. Hold the arc against the charcoal until it catches, then release. There is no gas or flame in the lighter itself, and the flexible neck keeps your hand away from the coals.

Can this electric arc lighter light a gas stove?

Yes. Bring the tip close to the burner, turn the gas knob on and press the button. The windproof arc lights the burner like a normal gas lighter, without any gas or flint inside the lighter.

What is the difference between an arc lighter, a plasma lighter and a USB lighter?

They describe the same kind of lighter: it makes an electric arc (sometimes called plasma) instead of a flame, and is charged over USB. The ZORACook Arc BBQ Lighter is all three, and it cannot be refilled because it holds no gas.
