What do you want to ignite? Many gas kitchen ovens use a hot surface ignitor to automatically light the gas without a pilot light. they glow brigh orange when powered to ignite the gas. The surface burners are often ignited with a spark gap ignitor. You could also use one of the relatively cheap devices for lighting gas grills that you pull a trigger to get a spark.
