The Candle by the Hour is an easy-to-use wax candle that burns for hours without the use of a lighter or a flame. All you have to do is coil beeswax through a spring-loaded clip in increments of 7.6cm. Three inches of wax will burn for one hour. The wax can be added or removed at a time. A typical Candle by the Hour will last for about five hours.
The CANDLE BY THE HOUR was originally a style of beeswax candle that was used by 16th-century courting couples to mark the hours of time they spent with a prospective mate. Unlike other wax candles, it doesn’t drip wax, making it an excellent addition to any candle collection. Available in two different sizes, the CANDLE BY THE HOUR is available in red or green and has a natural citronella scent. There are refills available in eighteen-hour increments.
Candles by the hour are reminiscent of the 16th-century courting candles used by young men to mark the time they spent with a prospective mate. These unique wicks are made from beeswax and burn for up to 20 minutes per inch. These self-extinguishing candles are an excellent alternative to regular candles and can be used for weddings, birthdays, and other special events.
