Zippo Skull Moon Design Black Light Color Image Lighter, Black Matte (48737)
About this item
- UV-reactive Color Image art: the grinning sun and multicolor mushrooms inside a syrupy skull glow vividly under a black light, while reading as a darkly sweet design in daylight.
- Genuine windproof flame: the classic Zippo chimney keeps it lit outdoors and in wind, with the unmistakable Zippo click every time you open the lid.
- All-metal and built to last: a solid brass case with a smooth Black Matte finish that makes the colors pop, made in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
- Refillable for life: a few drops of fuel revive it again and again, so it is a long-lasting keeper instead of a throwaway lighter.
- Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free, covering the mechanism for the life of the lighter.
- Gift-ready collectible: arrives in a Zippo gift box, ideal for skull-art and mushroom-design fans (ships empty, fuel sold separately).
Product description
El Paso Smoke Shops stocks the Zippo Skull Moon Black Light lighter, model 48737, from Zippo’s Color Image / Black Light Collection. In daylight you get a darkly sweet scene: a grinning sun and multicolor mushrooms filling the cranium of a syrupy skull, printed on a Black Matte case. Put it under a UV or black light and Zippo’s specialty Black Light ink lights up, giving the artwork a glowing, psychedelic second life. Underneath the art it is a true Zippo, all-metal, windproof, refillable, and built in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
The Skull Moon design, and how the black light effect works
Skull Moon is part of Zippo’s Color Image line, which uses a full-color photographic-style imprint to wrap the whole front of the case in art. What makes 48737 special is the added Black Light process: Zippo applies a specially formulated, UV-reactive ink to select areas of the design so that under a black light those areas fluoresce with a vivid glow. To be clear, this is a black light design, not a glow-in-the-dark one. It does not charge up and shine on its own in a dark room; you need a UV or black light to see the effect, which is what gives the sun-and-mushroom skull its trippy pop at night or at a show.
Built like every genuine Zippo
The art is the only thing that is unusual here. Everything else is classic Zippo: a sturdy all-metal brass case, the unmistakable Zippo click when you open and close the lid, and the windproof chimney that keeps the flame lit outdoors and in a breeze. It is sized to live in a pocket, roughly 2.25 inches tall, and it is refillable, so a few drops of fuel bring it right back to life instead of going in the trash like a disposable. The Black Matte finish keeps the colors of the Skull Moon art front and center.
Filling, flints, and wick care
Your 48737 arrives empty in its gift box, so fill it before first use. Lift the case out of the bottom shell, saturate the packing with fuel, and stop when it reaches the top of the packing. Keep the lid closed between uses, since fuel evaporates over time. Zippo recommends genuine Zippo fuel and flints for the best performance. For most users a flint lasts a few weeks of regular use, and the wick wants a light trim once or twice a year before it eventually needs swapping. We stock the matching consumables in El Paso so you can keep it running: replacement flints and a replacement wick when the time comes.
The lifetime guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter is backed by Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair or replace the working parts at no charge. One honest note worth knowing: that guarantee covers the lighter’s function, not the decorated exterior finish, so the Color Image art and Black Matte coat are not part of the mechanical warranty. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee on the mechanism.

Questions & Answers
Do you need a black light to see the Zippo Skull Moon design glow?
Yes. The Skull Moon 48737 is a black light design, not glow-in-the-dark. Zippo prints it with UV-reactive ink, so the sun-and-mushroom skull art lights up only when you shine an ultraviolet (UV) or black light on it. In normal daylight it simply reads as the full-color Color Image design. It does not absorb light and glow on its own in a dark room the way a glow-in-the-dark lighter does.
Does the Zippo Skull Moon 48737 come with lighter fluid?
No. Like all genuine Zippo windproof lighters, the 48737 ships empty in its gift box for safe transport, so you fill it before first use. It is built for Zippo premium lighter fluid; lift the case out of the shell, saturate the packing, and stop when the fuel reaches the top of the packing. You can grab Zippo premium lighter fluid with the lighter so it is ready to spark right away.
Is the Skull Moon lighter windproof and refillable?
Yes on both. Under the artwork it is a standard Zippo with the windproof chimney that keeps the flame burning outdoors and in a breeze, plus the signature Zippo click. It is fully refillable, so instead of replacing the whole lighter you just top it off with fuel, which makes it a long-lasting, reusable keeper rather than a disposable.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee means it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever stops working, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair or replace the working components at no cost for the life of the lighter. The guarantee covers function, not the decorated exterior, so the Black Light Color Image art and Black Matte finish are not part of the mechanical warranty. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter and Zippo honors the guarantee.
How often do I need to replace the flint and wick?
For an average user a flint lasts roughly a few weeks of regular use, and the wick usually only needs a light trim once or twice a year before it eventually needs replacing. Zippo recommends genuine Zippo flints and wicks for best performance. We carry both in El Paso, including replacement flints, so it is easy to keep your Skull Moon lighter sparking reliably.
Where is the Zippo Skull Moon 48737 made, and is it a genuine Zippo?
It is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter, manufactured at Zippo's plant in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The Skull Moon art is applied with Zippo's own Color Image and Black Light processes on an authentic all-metal Zippo case, so you get the real windproof mechanism, the Zippo click, and the lifetime guarantee, not a look-alike.
Must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. This is a refillable windproof pocket lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty in a gift box; lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before first use. Keep away from children and use responsibly. Availability varies by store, check the live stock on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops location has it.
