Question
Today there is something called a miracle lighter that works on electricity and not on gas, and in order for it to work, you need to press it constantly, and then it turns off by itself. The question is whether there is any concern or preference not to use it for lighting Shabbat candles, or if it is permissible from the outset.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is permissible to light Shabbat candles with it.
There is no difference between such a lighter and a gas lighter or a match.
