Abstract
A lighter or igniter apparatus for igniting fireworks, pyrotechnic set pieces or ordnance has a carrier tape with a first face coated with adhesive and a strip of fuel such as gunpowder applied to the first face at a location spaced from the opposite side edges of the tape. A cover or closure device encloses the strip of fuel on the tape. In one example, a second tape is adhered to the first face of the carrier tape covering the strip of fuel. The second tape is narrower so as to leave adhesive side edge portions of the carrier tape exposed for adhering the device to supports of a pyrotechnic display for ignition purposes.
