lighter
More pale, comparatively
A lighter is a small handheld device that produces a flame, typically used to light cigarettes, candles, or fires.
Lighters may use butane gas or liquid fuel with a wick.
As an adjective or adverb, lighter is the comparative form of light in all its senses: a lighter shade of blue, traveling lighter this time, a lighter workload.
A lighter is also a flat-bottomed barge used to transfer cargo between ships and shore.
