What makes Radlight different from other lighters?
Radlight is purpose-built as a fire starter for survival, unlike typical lighters, which are vertically designed for lighting cigarettes or small items. These conventional lighters often fail to ignite in wind, water, or extreme environments due to poor flame control and lack of durability. Radlight's horizontal design ensures precise flame placement under wood or tinder, while IPX7 waterproofing, wind resistance and durable recycled materials make it reliable in even the harshest conditions.
What type of fuel does radlight use?
Standard lighter fluid is recommended. Radlight is optimized for naphtha-based liquid fuel, the trusted choice for adventurers in extreme environments.
Is Radlight refillable?
Yes, Radlight is refillable, offering a sustainable alternative to disposable plastic lighters. See instructions for how to refill your Radlight.
Does the lighter come pre-filled?
No. Shipping regulations prohibit shipping lighters with fuel in them. However, standard Lighter Fluid such as Rosonol or Zippo can be purchased at hardware or convenience stores. Most drug store chains carry it as well.
How much of a change in altitude will cause vacuum lock?
When a Radlight is opened at high altitude, closed, and then moved to a lower elevation, pressure variations may occur. If the elevation change exceeds 2,000 feet (610 meters), a vacuum can form, making the lid more difficult to open. If you experience this, simply loosen the valve before attempting to open the lid again.
Does Radlight come with a warranty?
Yes, we guarantee performance. If it doesn't meet your expectations, we will replace or refund it. Contact us directly with any concerns.
What is the lighter made of?
All metal construction, overbuilt from 50% recycled die-cast aluminum body, a stainless-steel insert and tool steel flint wheel Radlight is designed for years of use.
Can the lighters be customized
We hope to offer customization in the future. We will announce that option when it is available.
