Candle lighters with a long or bendable neck

With a candle lighter it all comes down to reach. If the wick sits deep in a glass, an ordinary lighter cannot get to it without burning your fingers. The models here have a stem of 17 to 27 centimetres, and some of them bend so you can get around the rim of the glass.

The second choice is the type of flame, and that matters more than you would think.

Which candle lighter suits your candles?

A candle in a tall glass or a storm lantern is the hardest case: the wick sinks further away with every burn and the opening stays just as narrow. A short lighter then forces you to hold the flame at an angle, which is exactly why you cannot get it onto the wick and the glass sooties up.

Long-stemmed candle lighter lighting a candle in a glass

How deep is the wick

For candles on a tray 17 centimetres is enough. With tall glasses, storm lanterns or a candle that is already half burnt down you want to go towards 25 to 27 centimetres, or you still will not reach it.

Bendable or fixed neck

You set a bendable neck at an angle so you aim the flame straight at the wick while your hand stays well away. A fixed stem is sturdier and nicer if you mostly use it upright.

Jet flame or soft flame

A soft flame is calmer and does not blow the wick sideways, which works nicely on thin wicks. A jet flame is fiercer and does not blow out, and that wins as soon as you are outdoors or walking down a draughty hallway.

Tip

Almost all models are refillable. Use butane gas at 45 PSI and let the gas rest for a minute after filling, otherwise the lighter seems broken while there is only air in it.

Buying a candle lighter at PyroProducts

This category holds long lighters for candles, tea lights, oil lamps and tea lights in a lantern. From a slim pen model to a stem of 27 centimetres, with a fixed or a bendable neck, and with a soft flame or a jet flame.

The same lighter also works for the fireplace or a fire pit, although there you usually want more length and a fiercer flame; those are with the fireplace lighters. If you are mainly looking by length, have a look at the long lighters.

When comparing, look at the length of the stem, whether the neck bends, the type of flame and whether it is refillable. Which models are the nicest to use in practice is in the best long lighter for candles.

Frequently asked questions

Which lighter is handiest for candles in a tall glass?

A model with a bendable neck of 25 centimetres or more. You set the neck at an angle, aim the flame straight at the wick and keep your hand above the rim of the glass. A short lighter forces you to hold the flame at an angle, which sooties up the glass.

What is the difference between a jet flame and a soft flame for candles?

A soft flame is calmer and does not blow thin wicks sideways. A jet flame is fiercer, burns clean and does not blow out, which wins as soon as there is a draught or you are outdoors. Indoors with fine candles a soft flame is often nicer.

How long should a candle lighter be?

For candles on the table about 17 centimetres is enough. For tall glasses, lanterns or half burnt-down candles you want 25 to 27 centimetres. If in doubt, measure the depth of your deepest candle holder and add a few centimetres.

Are candle lighters refillable?

Almost all models in this category are refilled with lighter gas. Check the product information for the model you pick. A refillable lighter lasts for years as long as you fill it with clean gas and do not overload it.

Which gas do you use for a candle lighter?

Butane gas at 45 PSI. Gas with too low a pressure or lower purity gives a weak flame and clogs the valve. Fill calmly, hold the lighter upright and wait a minute before you light it.

Can I light the fireplace or barbecue with it too?

You can, certainly with a model with a jet flame and a long stem. For kindling deep in a fireplace or for charcoal you usually want a bit more length and power than a candle lighter offers.
