FAQs
Can I use LED tealights instead of wax ones?
Yes, LED tealights are perfectly compatible and provide a safer, flicker-free alternative if you have children or pets.
How do I remove hardened wax from the glass?
Place the glass in the freezer for 20 minutes; the cold will cause the wax to shrink, allowing it to be popped out easily with a dull butter knife.
Is the black finish heat-resistant?
The finish is designed to withstand normal heat output from tealight candles, but avoid letting direct flames touch the metal frame.
Can I place this outdoors?
It is intended for indoor use. Outdoor conditions may lead to rust on the metal frame and wind will likely extinguish the tealights.
Are replacement glass cups available?
Standard-sized tealight glass inserts are widely available at most home goods stores if you need a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Tealight is difficult to reach or light
Use a long-reach lighter or matchstick to ignite the candles once they are placed deep within the glass cups.
Glass inserts are cloudy or stained with wax
Soak the glass inserts in warm, soapy water and gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge to remove hardened wax residue.
Frame feels unstable
Ensure the surface is completely level. If the unit wobbles, check for debris underneath the frame or confirm the surface has not warped due to heat exposure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sleek, minimalist design fits modern interior styles
- Provides a balanced, warm glow with five separate candles
- Sturdy construction with protective glass inserts
- Compact footprint allows for easy placement on narrow shelves
Cons
- Compatible only with standard-sized tealight candles
- Glass inserts require manual cleaning to maintain clarity
- Matte black finish may show dust more easily than lighter colors
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the frame on your chosen surface and insert each glass cup into the designated holders. Once seated, place a standard tea light candle into each glass cup.
Compatibility: This unit is designed exclusively for standard-sized tealight candles. Do not attempt to use large votives or pillars as they will not fit and may cause fire hazards or damage the glass.
Care Instructions: To maintain the matte black finish, wipe the frame gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. To clean the glass inserts, remove them from the metal frame and wash with warm, soapy water. Ensure the glass is completely dry before returning it to the metal frame to prevent water spots or rust.
