=== Solar lighter === A solar lighter is a pocket-sized stainless steel [[Parabolic reflector|parabolic mirror]], shaped to [[Concentrated solar power|concentrate sunlight]] on a small prong holding combustible material at the focal point. A revival of an old gadget marketed as a cigarette lighter by [[RadioShack]] in the 1980s, it is a useful hiking and camping accessory as its functioning is not affected by having been soaked by rain or falling in rivers or the sea. To operate, it needs sunlight and a small piece of flammable material. Once a glowing spark has been achieved, careful blowing can produce a blaze.<ref>[http://www.envirogadget.com/solar-powered/solar-spark-lighter-solar-powered-fire-starter/ Enviro Gadget]</ref>
