The Lighter is a metal refillable lighter. It starts fires and gives a small glow when held. The game groups it with survival gear.
Every survivor needs a way to make fire, and this lighter is one of the best. Its strength is that Lighter Fluid refills it, so it lasts the whole game. Its cost is a modest number of uses per fill.
It is common in tobacco stores, camping stores and army surplus stores. Gas stations and convenience stores stock it too.
Using
The lighter starts campfires and lights candles, cigarettes and Molotov cocktails. It also lights an antique oven. Light Candle and Light Hurricane Lantern both accept it. A Molotov is lit with the lighter held in the off hand.
A body can be burned with the lighter in the main hand and a gas can in the off hand. That is the usual way to clear a pile of corpses near a base.
Held and switched on, the lighter lights a small ring around the holder, about five tiles. A flashlight throws far more light. The lighter serves as a backup light when nothing better is at hand.
Kilns and furnaces need a flame to start a batch. Firing bricks, clay pots, tiles and crucibles all accept the lighter. So do Melt Sand and Melt Glass at a furnace.
The Lighter - Disposable gives about twice as many uses per fill. The refillable lighter makes up for it with endless refills.
Upkeep
A full lighter gives about thirty uses. Holding it lit also drains it slowly. When empty, it stays in the inventory rather than being thrown away. Refill Lighter tops it up from a can of Lighter Fluid.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Lighter by its type rather than by name.

Locations
Tobacco store shelves are the best place to look, holding one almost half the time. Camping stores and army surplus stores hold one about one time in four. Gas stations, convenience stores, corner stores and general stores are nearly as good. Cigar boxes of keepsakes and smoking rooms are fair spots. Pawn shop display cases and gift stores give smaller chances.

Notes
- Lighter Fluid refills it, so one lighter can last a whole run.
- The empty lighter is kept, ready for a refill.
- Pressing the light key equips it as a light when no flashlight is carried.
- A Molotov needs the lighter in the off hand.
