The self-contained unit offers a built-in battery life indicator, 6 ft. ignitor cord and separate buttons for power and ignition. Also, no starting powder is used with this system so emissions are greatly reduced. QIKLITE® works with off-the-shelf molds and weld metal, so contractors and installers can continue to use the same quality BURNDYWeld® products. Since the unit operates with standard weld metal and molds, installers also have the option of using a traditional flint ignitor or the new QIKLITE® system. Another feature is the speed of ignition, with virtually no delay between depressing the push to operate button and ignition of the weld metal. This instant ignition feature offers quick reassurance to the installer, without the delay.
