Prof lighters, singly and in value sets
Prof is the brand where you buy several lighters at once without spending much. A large part of the range consists of sets of four or five.
Two things hold for the whole brand: every model has one jet flame, and every model is refillable. That last part is unusual in this segment, where disposable is the rule.
Which Prof suits your use?
A disposable lighter goes in the bin after a few weeks, and that repeats all year. These models are refilled with butane gas, so they last a lot longer. With a set of five that means one purchase for the kitchen, the shed, the car and the barbecue at once.
Singly or in a set
There are single pieces and sets of four or five. Per piece a set is cheaper, and it is handy if you want one lying in several places or if you tend to lose them.
Straight or with a bendable neck
The Flex models have a neck you set at an angle, which helps with a candle deep in a glass or with kindling at the back of the fireplace. The straight models are more compact and slip into a pocket more easily.
Compact or long
The smallest models disappear into a trouser pocket. The Hake and Sealion models have a longer stem, which keeps more distance between your hand and the flame at a fireplace or a barbecue.
Refill with butane gas at 45 PSI and wait a minute after filling. At lower pressure or with less pure gas the flame starts to sputter and the valve clogs up.
Buying a Prof lighter at PyroProducts
This category holds the Prof models we carry: single lighters and sets of four and five, with a straight or bendable neck, short or with a longer stem. All with one jet flame and all refillable.
If you are specifically after something for candles, the models with a bendable neck help most; those are also with the candle lighters. If it mainly has to keep burning outdoors, have a look at the storm lighters.
When comparing, look at the length, whether the neck bends and whether you want one piece or a set. If a filled lighter still refuses, the answer is usually in lighter not working any more.
If you are torn between a single one and a set, count the places where you want one lying. At two or more a set is cheaper per piece, and you do not have to go looking at the moment you need it.
Frequently asked questions
Are Prof lighters refillable?
Yes, all Prof models in this category are refilled with butane gas. That goes for the value sets too, so you do not throw them away when the tank is empty.
How many lighters are in a set?
Four or five, depending on the model. Some of the sets include a can of butane gas. What exactly comes with it is stated in the information per product.
What does Flex mean on a Prof lighter?
That the neck bends. You set it at an angle and aim the flame at the wick while your hand stays well away. Handy with a candle deep in a glass or with wood at the back of the fireplace.
Which gas do you use for a Prof lighter?
Butane gas at 45 PSI. Fill calmly with the lighter upside down and then wait a minute. Gas with too low a pressure leaves residue in the valve.
Do Prof lighters have a jet flame?
Yes, every model in this category has one jet flame. It burns blue, is hotter than an ordinary yellow flame and does not blow out outdoors.
Why choose a set instead of one?
Per piece a set is cheaper, and you can then leave one everywhere: in the kitchen, the shed, the car and by the barbecue. That saves searching at the moment you need one.
