Market Insights Snapshot
In September 2026, Lamplighter’s mix concentrated in Pre-Roll at 69.88% share with a -68.04% year-over-year decline and a -16.99% month-over-month drop, while Vapor Pens held 29.50% share with a -66.52% year-over-year change but a 28.86% month-over-month increase; Concentrates contracted to 0.62% share with -98.15% year-over-year and -41.80% month-over-month. Combined with a -14.25% year-over-year average price move to $22.40 and a brand-level -70.59% year-over-year sales change, the pattern implies a pivot toward Vapor Pens recovery within a shrinking overall base, while Pre-Roll remains the volume anchor but is the drag on growth.
The category shifts suggest Lamplighter’s positioning is tilting toward Vapor Pens for near-term momentum, as a 28.86% month-over-month lift in a 29.50% share category can offset some of the -16.99% month-over-month decline in the 69.88% share Pre-Roll book, whereas Concentrates’ 0.62% share and -41.80% month-over-month loss remove it as a strategic lever; in Alberta, where Vapor Pens is the top category context for the brand, the null rank signal combined with a -66.52% year-over-year category decline points to a need to defend relevance even as the month-over-month upswing creates an opening. With brand sales down -70.59% year over year and the 24‑month change at -84.64%, sustaining the Vapor Pens month-over-month trajectory while stabilizing Pre-Roll price-pack architecture is the clearest path to moderating share erosion.
Competitive Landscape
Lamplighter sits at rank #88 in AB Vapor Pens in September 2026, down 28 positions year over year from #60 and slipping 19 spots from #69 three months ago, while its historical peak was #35 in February 2025; by contrast, BoxHot climbed from #3 to #1 with a 56.6% YoY sales increase and Kolab advanced from #8 to #4 alongside a 66.0% YoY lift, indicating Lamplighter’s relative demand share is compressing as leaders consolidate at the top and that its downward rank trajectory points to a need for mix or channel shifts to re-enter the top 50.
Notable Products
Bl4ckberry B4cklit Liquid Diamond & Kief Infused Pre-Roll 3-Pack (1.5g) delivered a +1,507.7% month-over-month surge to rank 2, while Tiger Berry Distillate Disposable (1g) fell -56.2% to rank 8. Tiger Berry Distillate Cartridge (1g) also slid -41.8% at rank 10, whereas Strawberry Strobe Liquid Diamonds Cartridge (1g) climbed +74.7% to rank 7. Four of the top ten are Vapor Pens SKUs, but the month saw the top spot held by a Pre-Roll and the only $29,074 seller was Tiger Berry Infused Pre-Roll 3-Pack (1.5g), implying a pivot toward infused Pre-Rolls capturing rank leadership even as pen volatility reshuffles mid-tier positions.
