The lighter is small, single flame and can be had in various finishes.

The ignition sequence involves flipping up the lid which is oddly reminiscent of a classic zippo albeit a bit firmer of a flip; followed by pressing the very firm ignition button.

The bottom of the lighter is typical with an adjustment screw and fill port.

All together this is an incredible lighter for the price. I don't think I've ever had a failed ignition on any of the Jet Lite's I've owned. They are cheap enough to by multiples and keep in various locations as backups. They are incredibly fuel efficient, I don't use them often but I've never run one out of gas. The flame is fine and great for touchups.

If you don't have a Jet Lite you should get one!
