FAQs
Can I use this candle outdoors?
This candle is primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor winds will cause uneven burning and potential safety issues.
How long should I burn the candle each time?
It is recommended to burn for at least 3-4 hours per session to ensure the melt pool reaches the edges of the pillar.
Do I need a special holder for this candle?
Yes, a wide, heat-resistant, and non-flammable tray or pillar holder is required to protect your surfaces from heat and wax drips.
Is the beige color prone to fading?
As with most candles, avoid keeping the product in direct, prolonged sunlight to maintain the integrity of the color.
What is the best way to extinguish the three flames?
Use a dedicated candle snuffer to safely submerge the wicks into the wax pool, which prevents smoke and keeps the wicks centered.
Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (burning only in the center)
Ensure you burn the candle long enough during the first use to let the melt pool reach the edges, and always light all three wicks.
Excessive smoke or soot
Trim the wicks to 6mm before lighting and keep the candle away from drafts or air currents.
Flame is too high or flickering
Extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, trim the wicks, and relocate away from fans, AC units, or open windows.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Elegant, neutral beige color fits most color palettes
- Three-wick design prevents tunneling for better wax consumption
- Sturdy construction suitable for frequent use
- Creates a warm and inviting atmosphere in larger rooms
Cons
- Requires a wide, heat-resistant base to prevent wax damage to furniture
- Larger footprint may not fit on narrow shelves
- Long burn time necessitates consistent monitoring during initial use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your candle, always place it on a level, fire-resistant candle plate or holder. Never place the candle directly on wooden or polished surfaces. Before lighting for the first time, ensure the wicks are standing straight. For care, keep the wax pool free of debris, including wick trimmings or matches. Extinguish the candle using a snuffer to prevent hot wax splatters, and allow it to cool completely before moving or attempting to relight. If burning for extended periods, check that the container remains cool to the touch and that no drafts are present to maintain a consistent flame.
