I wonder if a jeweler's loupe would work. They have like 30X magnifying power, but the lens is very small in diameter. Plus, they are very portable. I might have to go digging to find my old one and check it out. We have SUN today in Seattle!!

I just ordered a solar lighter from Amazon.
People reviewed it and said it worked well. We'll see!

Somehow, the link isn't working. Just go to Amazon and search for Kikkerland magnifying lighter
It appears that it's just a thin magnifier that flips out of a thin, metal sheath and it's made to look kinda like a regular lighter. Hey, the price was right so I thought I'd give it a try....I'll report back later when I get it (hopefully on a sunny day!) and update!

I looked it up so the flint wheel looking thing just flips it out? In the pic I thought it did more. I guess its good for on the go, ill love to know how good it works when you get it and if its glass or plastic, I might be in for one for the car (solar hits and emergency fire starter!)

I bet it IS plastic and yeah the "flint wheel" is just a disguise for a flip-up thing that makes the magnifier come out.

Never heard about solar hits, until now. It sounds like a fantastic idea. I'm definitely going to be trying this soon.

It just arrived and it's definitely a POS. DON'T get this thing. It sucks and it's really cheap and flimsy plastic. I'm going to try and light something if the sun comes back out!
