Product description
The Zippo Full Moon Design Black Light Lighter (49810) is a genuine windproof Zippo that hides a second life after dark. In daylight it reads as a calm black matte case with a moonlit-sea scene; shine a UV or black light on it and the moon and water glow blue. It is refillable for life, made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Below are the design story, how it works, and how our Hosts recommend caring for it.
A moonlit sea that glows under a black light
The artwork is the headline here. The 49810 belongs to Zippo’s Color Image (Black Light) collection, and its design shows a full moon over serene moonlit waters. Zippo applies a specialty Black Light ink to select areas of that Color Image graphic, so when you point a UV or black light at the case, those areas glow a vivid blue while the rest stays black matte. The effect is built into the ink, not a coating that wears off, so the glow lasts as long as the artwork. Note that this is a Black Light model and not a glow-in-the-dark model: it reacts to ultraviolet light rather than charging from a lamp, so you get the blue glow when a UV or black light hits it.
Built like every Zippo: windproof and refillable for life
Underneath the art is a standard Zippo windproof insert, the same dependable flame that lights in wind and outdoors. The case is brass with a black matte (218) finish and a Classic profile, and it opens and closes with the unmistakable Zippo click. It is refillable, so instead of throwing it away you top it off and keep it for decades. Zippo engineers these lighters to run best on genuine Zippo consumables. Keep it fueled with Zippo premium lighter fluid, swap in replacement flints when the spark wheel stops sparking, and fit a replacement wick once the old wick darkens and frays. Using genuine Zippo parts keeps the flame reliable and protects the guarantee.
Black matte finish and Bradford craftsmanship
The black matte (218) finish gives the 49810 a stealthy, low-shine look that frames the glowing artwork and hides fingerprints. The lighter measures 2.25 in tall, 1.5 in deep, and 0.5 in wide, and weighs about 2.0 oz, so it sits comfortably in a pocket. It is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA, where Zippo has produced its windproof lighters since 1932, and it arrives new in a Zippo gift box, which makes it an easy gift for collectors of the Black Light line.

Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter, the 49810 included, carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free.

Questions & Answers
Does the Zippo 49810 Full Moon design actually glow, and what makes it glow?
Yes. The full-moon-on-the-sea artwork is printed with Zippo's Black Light specialty ink, so select areas of the Color Image design glow blue when you shine a UV or black light on them. In normal light you see a serene moonlit-water scene on a black matte case; under UV light the moon and water light up. The glow comes from UV-reactive ink built into the artwork, not paint that rubs off, so the effect lasts as long as the design does.
Does this Zippo glow in the dark on its own, or do I need a black light?
You need a UV or black light. The 49810 is a Black Light model, which is different from Zippo's separate glow-in-the-dark lighters that charge from ordinary light. Its ink reacts to ultraviolet light, so it glows blue under a black light or other UV source rather than from being left near a lamp.
Does the Zippo 49810 come filled with fluid, or do I fill it myself?
It ships empty. Under U.S. Department of Transportation rules, all Zippo lighters are shipped with empty fuel tanks, so you fill it before first use. Lift the felt pad under the insert, slowly saturate the packing with fluid, stop before it overfills, then wipe your hands before lighting. We sell Zippo premium lighter fluid separately at El Paso Smoke Shops.
What fuel, flints, and wick should I use in my Zippo?
Zippo recommends genuine Zippo fuel, flints, and wicks for best performance. Fuel it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, replace the flint when the spark wheel no longer sparks, and change the wick once it darkens and frays. Using genuine Zippo consumables keeps the windproof flame reliable and protects the lifetime guarantee.
Is the Full Moon Black Light lighter covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee?
Yes. Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter, including the 49810, carries Zippo's lifetime guarantee, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee and performs any repair.
Is this a genuine Zippo, and where is it made?
Yes, it is a genuine Zippo made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters since 1932. The 49810 is part of Zippo's Color Image (Black Light) line, on a Classic-case brass body with a black matte (218) finish. It arrives new in a Zippo gift box.
21+ only; a valid government-issued ID is required to purchase. This is a genuine windproof Zippo lighter, not a vape or e-cigarette, and it is not a concealment device. Like all Zippo lighters it ships empty: fuel (Zippo premium lighter fluid) is sold separately and must be added before first use. Keep away from children and use responsibly.
