Whether you are facing power outages, winter storms, or survival situations, this long-lasting candle provides steady, natural light you can count on.

How to Use the Beeswax Emergency Candle for Best Results

Follow these simple guidelines to ensure safe, efficient, and long-lasting performance:

Trim the Wick

Trim the Wick

Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This promotes a steady flame, reduces smoke, and helps the candle burn more cleanly. Keeping the wick trimmed also maximizes total burn time.

Use on a Heat-Safe Surface

Use on a Heat-Safe Surface

Always burn your candle free-standing on a fire-safe plate, saucer, or similar holder. Avoid enclosed glass containers, which can reflect heat and shorten burn time.

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

Burn in a Draft-Free Area

For reliable light, place your candle in a draft-free area. Moving air can cause flickering, uneven burning, or wasted wax. A stable environment ensures steady illumination.

Let a Melt Pool Form

Let a Melt Pool Form

On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the top surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures the candle burns evenly for the rest of its life.
