Seven

This was my answer. 5 that are in front and then shown in the reflection. Two that are behind the lighter and lined up with the reflection of two of the 5 match sticks that are in front of the answer.

Is that right?

I recant my answer and go with this. I thought I remembered seeing 7 yesterday but looking again 8. 5 up front, 3 in back.
