Very easy to use despite what some reviews say. Just point it towards the sun until you see the concentrated beam of light. I was able to ignite some paper in seconds on a day when the sun was not very strong. Obviously won't work if it's overcast 🤷. Maybe wear sunglasses because the beam is super bright.

You will need to purchase or make some charcloth it is cheap it is plastic but I successfully did get it to light with charcloth

Teach scouts alternative methods to start fires

Here's how you should aim it: Place the mirror between you and the sun. In other words, you should face the sun (sunglasses are needed) and look over the top of the mirror. Then, aim the mirror until you see a bright spot on the item you are trying to ignite.

I figured it was just a gimmick that would rarely work if ever. When it showed up and it was so small/ cheap feeling, I knew it would never work. So I lit a cigarette and went outside with another, in the device as instructed and set it on the ground in the sun. Within a second smoke poured out from the tip of the cigarette. I removed it and put it out. Then repeatedly put it in and watched smoke instantly pour from the tip of the cigarette. So I finished smoking my cigarette and then tried a stick. It took a few seconds but it too began to smoke. While it was not enough to get a fire going with just a stick, I think if I had used a cloth or bark material it would have been able to actually catch fire. So potentially this could be used in a life saving situation

My son is 8 years old, and we often go camping. He’s very interested in science experiments and was convinced that this method could start a fire. However, after trying many times, it never worked. It feels like a waste of money!

Increíblemente es totalmente funcional ese artefacto para hacer fuego 🔥 ..muy práctico para su funcionamiento.. Un cigarrillo se enciende en menos de 5 segundos..genial

1. used tissue paper and still didn't get it to light. 2. It does produce a concentrated beam of light but it failed to light after a minute or so in 45 degree weather. 3. Some type of sunglasses are a must. The reflective light on the tissue paper was very bright and could be dangerous to look at for an extended period of time. 4. I will try again in different conditions, but as a survival device I give it a 1. 5. Concerned on how it will hold up since its chrome plated plastic. 6. A Fresnel lens is much more reliable

Tried it under direct sunlight at noon. Still didn't work. Not sure if I got scammed or it is simply very difficult to work. I live in the tropics!!! The sun is sooo bright here And also, the instructions on how to insert the spring were pretty unclear. Turns out, you jam the spring directly into the hole in the centre of the disc, and then you depress the hook end of the holder and insert that hook end into the coils on the other end of the spring

Super awesome!! A lighter for life!

Funciona no al momento pero funciona... Recomendación usar lentes de sol para poder guiar la luz al objetivo pues encandila y no creo que sea muy saludable para la vista.

Getting the combustible material the correct distance from the mirror is key. The wire holder is just a little bit too long. That can be easily fixed, or like I did, you can push the material deeper into the holder so that it is coming out the bottom. That will not work for cigarettes, but that is not what I bought it for. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the price of $16 is a bit high. I could see this product showing up in the dollar stores for $3-$4. At that price I would buy all my friends and family one.

I kept mine only because it would be harder to return then it was worth. Tried it on a sunny day and it won't light anything. Lots of smoke sometimes, never a flame, and that was a sunny day. Save your money.
