Zion Judaica Quality Tealight Candles 4 - 4.5 Hour Burn Time Unscented Set of 120 - Stark White

This is my third time purchasing these candles and they are magnificent! They burn clean right down to the bottom. I hope they will be available for many years to come.

I have a small shrine and go through anywhere from 2 to 20 candles a day, depending on the day and time of year. These candles are perfect for daily use. They have no scent whatsoever, burn very clean, and light very easily and reliably.When lighting tealight candles for performances, rituals like weddings, for mood lighting in businesses, or for devotionals, it is often a problem to get them to light reliably, so it's customary to have to "pre-light" them to make sure they will burn reliably when you are trying to use them in front of an audience. However, these candles do a wonderful job of lighting, and staying lit.They have a small depression in the top of them that helps concentrate the flame, and provides a "pooling" point for the initial wax that melts, keeping the flame fueled. Then, within a half hour, the majority of the pot of wax melts leaving the entirety of the candle's fuel available for the entire length of its burn. The image I uploaded with this review shows the candle after only a half hour of burn - the flame is bright and clear, and the pot of wax has completely melted ensuring that the flame will have access to all of the available fuel.Throughout the burn, the wick burns well and ashes off evenly, providing a reliable and steady flame throughout the life of the candle. Even when it burns below the rim of the metal container, the flame remains bright, yet small and well proportioned.Thus, they provide a long burn time, that always makes the full use of all the wax in the candle, and throughout the burn you always have basically the same size and brilliance of flame that you started with.Since I've started using these Zion Judaica Quality Tealight Candles, I haven't had any unburnt wax remaining in candles. They seem to burn to the bottom, every time.Note: I use my tealight candles in small glass vessels or holders, and usually indoors, so there is little to no wind hitting them and they are always on a stable, level surface. If you use tealight candles in a different setting you will probably get different results.I highly recommend these for any use, but especially where you need a candle that lights reliably, and gives off pretty much the same light and flame throughout its burn.

One star does NOT reflect on quality (see below) JUST this minute rcvd my Amazon 📦 containing the Zion Judaica tealights. Unfortunately, they had not been padded/protected for the delivery and several were loose in the box and had been damaged by the heavier contents. So this review is a caution to Amazon about packaging, rather than the quality of the candles. I will add that part of the review in a few hours.UPDATE: Yep, the packing at Amazon Fulfillment was the only issue! I wrote the above review after test-lighting one of the Zion Judaica tealights...at 3:48pm, in a cast iron, openwork Japanese style hanging lantern. Outside. Slight breeze. At 8:30pm, it guttered and went out. Nearly 5 hours. Not bad, but I tried another, just to see if that was average. This one was lit at 9:30pm, same conditions. I had a hard time getting it into the lantern after I lit it and wound up breaking the lit half of wick off. I relit it and it was super dim at first, but by the time the inner circle of wax was melting, the flame again brightened. Anyway, when I went to bed at 2:45am, the brightness was going dim - so the 2nd tealight lasted for nearly 6 hours.(Mainstays is my usual brand and they may burn a bit brighter, but the hours burn time is similar. However, when I have used them out of doors, they succumb to any wind current and burn more quickly.) My next test will be under my old school coffee carafe warmer!All in all so far, I have zero complaints. Quality, burn hours, soft light and price have convinced me that Zion Judaica tea candles are definitely going to make up a significant part of my emergency lighting shelf.

I did do that. Look at my picture and you’ll see I’m not lying.I like candles. I like my home being all hyggalig during the colder months.I plan on using them individually. I won’t light them all in the jar. The jar is just for storage. It’s a one gallon jar, if you are curious. If you weren’t curious, I told you anyway. I also bought the jar in a two pack right here on amazon! Pretty amazing huh. I have also bought other jars here and put various substances in them. All legal. Epsom salt, regular pink cooking Himalayan salt, flour, various sugars.. really with jars the possibilities are endless. I’m not here to limit you and your creative endeavors when it comes to filling jars!But this review is supposed to be about candles.I haven’t actually lit any of the candles yet. Sure, some of the little tin cups were slightly bent because they came wrapped together in plastic. Do I care? Am I going to freak out and give the candles a one star rating and vow to never buy these candles again? No. No I’m not. They are tea light candles, they usually go into another vessel. Who really cares if three out of 120 have small dents in a corner?! Come on now Rand, get your panties out of a bunch. I’m sure these will fill my needs just fine. Just a middle age woman with a house full of kids and candles. Perfect combination!Shipping was fast, but it may not be quite as awesome without amazon prime.These candles will fill all your candleing needs if what you need them for is ambiance. If you need them for a food source it could probably still work but it might give you indigestion. I don’t know. Proceed eating them with caution.. but really I’m not one to say what you should or shouldn’t eat.
