candle lighter

Long flame tool

A candle lighter is a device for lighting candles, typically a long wand with a trigger mechanism that produces a flame at the tip, allowing you to reach wicks in deep holders or on tall candelabras without burning your fingers.

The term also refers to a person who lights candles, especially in religious ceremonies: The candle lighter processed down the aisle before the service began.
