Bic Luminere... By Chenault on Jan 29, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I enjoy burning candles around my home, but I get really annoyed with using matches and standard lighters to light the candles... I usually end up burning my fingers.

While browsing at Ollie's Bargain Outlet I saw Bic Luminere candle lighters for around three dollars each. I bought one hoping I would not burn my fingers again anytime soon. This canlde lighter is long, the lighter part is designed to light at several angles.

The candle lighter is child proof, and I am not embarrassed to admit several times I had issues lighting it, it must be semi adult proof also :) I was pleased with the fact that I could light candles that are normally hard to light with the Bic Luminere lighter.

However, I am disappointed by this lighter. For three dollars, I expected to get at least a months usage out of this lighter. To my dismay, within one week of purchasing the Bic Luminere lighter it had ran out of fluid. Seriously, I used it maybe fifteen times before it was empty.

Chances are, next time I am looking for a candle lighter, I won't consider the Bic Luminere lighter. It just isn't worth the price when you consider how quickly it runs out of lighter fluid.
