Systems and methods herein provide retractable and extendable portable ignitors, ignitor systems, and associated methods for lighting industrial fired equipment. In an embodiment, an ignitor includes a main body including a first body portion movable in a longitudinal direction relative to a second body portion so as to extend or retract to a target operating length, thereby to define an adjustable main body. The ignitor includes a flow path extending through the adjustable main body, a fluid outlet, and a fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is configured to receive and direct a fuel flow through the flow path and to the fluid outlet. The ignitor includes a sparking assembly connected to the adjustable main body proximate the fluid outlet to provide an ignition spark to the fuel flow when passing through the flow path, thereby to facilitate lighting industrial fired equipment via a fueled flame maintained proximate the fluid outlet.

An electric arc lighter having a handheld body with a pair of spaced-apart electrodes supported on an exterior of the body. The electrodes carrying electrical current through a gas between the physically separated electrodes and forming an electrical arc. A voltage source in the body and electrically connected to the electrodes to form a voltage therebetween form the electrical arc. The electric arc lighter features a receptacle receiving a supply of combustible material. A passageway through the body of the lighter receives the combustible material from the supply and guides the combustible material for delivery to the electrodes and into a path of the electrical arc. A feeding mechanism feeds the combustible material from the supply and through the passageway for ignition by the electrical arc to form a flame.
