Emergency Candles, Matches & Fire Starters for Preparedness Kits
Emergency candles, waterproof matches, and reliable lighters are foundational preparedness items — providing light and fire-starting capability during extended power outages and emergency scenarios where battery-powered lighting may be depleted or unavailable. Simple, reliable, and requiring no batteries or charging, these products remain functional after years of storage and are standard components of home, workplace, and shelter-in-place emergency kits.
Our 36-hour emergency candle provides sustained illumination for extended power outage scenarios — a single candle providing up to 36 continuous hours of light without batteries, charging, or fuel beyond the candle itself. The extended burn time makes this candle well suited for shelter-in-place kits, home emergency supplies, and facility emergency stations where sustained low-level lighting over multiple days may be needed.
Waterproof Matches & Butane Lighters
Waterproof matches provide reliable ignition capability in wet and humid conditions where standard matches would fail — an important consideration for emergency kits stored in vehicles, outdoor locations, or high-humidity environments. More Prepared carries two waterproof match options to suit different kit configurations and user preferences. A butane lighter provides an additional reliable ignition source for emergency kits — offering repeated use from a single unit rather than the limited strike count of a match pack.
All candles, matches, and lighters are available individually and in quantities appropriate for kit stocking and agency-wide deployment. Volume pricing is available for school districts and government agencies purchasing in quantity.
