Indexp Multifunction Solar Ignition Outdoor Waterproof Windproof Lightweight Camping Tools with Mirror

used to light a number of things works well with direct sunlight.

Needs bright sunlight , windbreak and dry tinder, then more tinder to keep going. Takes patience, prob wont work over 55deg north

I get little science stuff to show to pupils & this seemed to fit the bill.However . . .It's tiny, took ages to get to me & the company probably wants you to buy at least a dozen to make it worthwhile.Plastic, tiny & not sturdy.Not worth getting really.

Bought 3 of these for when I'm out in nature and they simply don't work... Absolute waste of money

I know sometimes advertisements stretch the truth… but this actually works. On a sunny day I could easily light up dry grass, tissue and paper. Really useful… if ever called on.

This product may be better suited for hotter climates....

This is absolutely brilliant, A parabolic Solar fire lighter. Unfortunately, at the present moment where I live, it is pouring with rain.It is excellent in the Sunshine, but do not put you finger where the tinder goes ,or you could have a nasty burn. By adjusting the tinder holder you will find that you can obtain 3,600 degrees and melt metal, for those that wish to do so.

I got this item on time, so no complaint there. It looks good ,I haven't tried it yet but was bought for my scouts to show them other ways to light a fire. Hopefully the sun will still be strong enough when we resume?
