Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Remove one tea light candle from its packaging.
- Place the candle into a suitable, heat-resistant tea light holder or lantern. Ensure the holder is stable and on a flat surface.
- Light the wick using a long match or lighter. Adjust the candle's position if it appears to be burning unevenly.
Compatibility:
These GloBrite tea light candles are designed to fit most standard tea light holders and lanterns. Their aluminum cups (if applicable, though not explicitly stated in product info, this is standard for tea lights) ensure a snug fit and prevent wax leakage into decorative holders. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, provided they are protected from strong winds and environmental elements that could extinguish the flame or cause unsafe burning.
Care:
- Extinguishing: Gently blow out the flame or use a snuffer. Do not leave burning candles unattended.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent premature melting or degradation.
- Cleaning: If wax spills onto holders, allow the wax to cool and harden, then gently scrape it off or use warm, soapy water for easier removal. The aluminum cups of the candles themselves are generally disposable after use.
- Wick Trimming: While not typically necessary for tea lights, if the wick becomes excessively long, trim it to about 1/4 inch before lighting for optimal burning.
