ignition device / igniter
without more knowledge of what the (electric) 'aanstekers' have to ignite or light (a gas flame, some kind of light?), I'd go for either of those two options

Comment: "I think that without further ado, and with dare I say it, some flashes of recognition of what you're suggesting as a more than possibly sound translation of 'aanstekers' in this context, I'm going to grasp your igniter. Many, many thanks Harry. "
