This is a BIC hybrid lighter that is versatile and compact at the same time. You can use it for many things, such as lighting candles, gas stoves, and grills. It is small and has a 3.5 cm long stick that allows you to safely reach even hard-to-access areas. The legendary lighters are known for their smooth lines, the famous elliptical shape, and reliable quality. This electronic version promises up to 900 ignitions over its entire lifespan. Since safety is a top priority for BIC, this lighter has been designed to meet or exceed international safety standards. No lighter is 100% childproof. However, this hybrid lighter features a safety mechanism that prevents it from being operated by over 85% of children under 51 months. BIC goes even further: the flame height is preset so that the flame ignites at the same height every time. The body is made of extremely durable Delrin resin and is robust enough to meet or exceed international safety regulations. All BIC hybrid lighters sold in Europe are manufactured in BIC's own facilities in Spain, where they undergo strict controls and testing.
