Gas Lighter, Piezo (Product Code: SLE/CH/204) is a hand-held igniter that produces sparks when its handle is squeezed, letting students and technicians light a gas burner without matches. It needs no battery and is suitable for igniting the common fuel gases used on laboratory burners, which makes it a routine item on school and college chemistry benches. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school science lab equipment manufacturer.

To light a Bunsen burner, close the air hole, hold the lighter tip just above the top of the barrel, open the gas tap and squeeze the handle; the spark ignites the gas and a yellow safety flame appears, after which the air hole can be opened for a hotter blue flame. Because the lighter makes sparks rather than its own flame, there are no loose matches or burnt splints on the bench, and nothing to discard afterwards.
Keep the spark tip clean and dry, since soot or moisture can weaken the spark, and hang the lighter on a hook or place it in a drawer after use so it is not left near a hot burner. For a new lab setup in a school, one lighter per bench or per pair of burners keeps practical sessions moving without students queuing for a light.

Does the lighter need batteries or refilling?
No battery is required. It produces sparks mechanically when the handle is squeezed and does not carry its own fuel.
Which gases can it ignite?
It is suitable for the common fuel gases supplied to laboratory burners. If your lab uses an unusual gas, please check with us through the contact page.
Why is there no flame when I squeeze it?
The lighter makes a spark only; a flame appears when that spark meets flowing gas. Make sure the gas tap is open and the tip is held at the burner mouth.
What if the spark becomes weak?
Wipe the tip to remove soot or moisture and let it dry. If the spark does not return, contact us for advice.
Is a warranty offered?
Warranty terms are confirmed with each quotation; please ask when you enquire.
Can you supply lighters for a whole laboratory or for export?
Yes. Send the quantity and destination, and we will quote for delivery within India or to international markets.
