Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Solar Lighter work?
A parabolic mirror collects sunlight and focuses it onto one small point, which gets hot enough to ignite suitable tinder. It needs no fuel or battery, only direct sunshine.
Does it work indoors or on cloudy days?
No. It relies on strong, direct sunlight, so it will not work indoors, at night or under heavy cloud. Keep this in mind if you plan to use it while camping.
What is it made of and how big is it?
It is made of plastic and aluminium and measures 10 cm x 6 cm. That is small and light enough to carry in a pocket or bag.
Is it safe for children?
Focused sunlight can burn skin and start fires, so treat it with the same care as any lighter. It is best used by adults or under close adult supervision, on a non-flammable surface.

Back again, and this one’s another decent buy from you lot. Lit a bit of kindling on our campsite in Northumberland in under a minute, which had the whole group gathered round gawping. Bit pricey for what it is, mind, and you do need a clear sky. Still glad I got it.
Graham Ellis –
got this for my lad who’s mad about science and he hasn’t put it down. The curved reflector focuses the sunlight into one tiny hot spot, and it scorched a leaf, then a scrap of paper, then a twig, within seconds. He’s explained the whole thing to his gran twice already. Brilliant bit of kit and it’s survived being chucked in his rucksack too.

Bought for my grandson’s birthday. His smile when the paper started smoking was a picture. Spot on.

Got my hands on the solar lighter last month and it’s brilliant for weekend camping trips. No need for matches or a gas lighter. Just the sun and a few seconds, and my kindling’s on fire. Lightweight and fits right in the backpack.
