About the candles

How do the candles work?
To make the candles burn with a coloured flame just light them with a match like any other candle, but do not trim the wick. After a minute the flame will start to burn with a different colour.

Have they got batteries?
They are not battery operated. They work just like a conventional candle.

What makes them burn different colours?
They use mineral and metal salts to make them burn with different colours. For example, have you ever thrown table salt into a fire? Well, table salt is sodium chloride and that will create orange sparks.

What are they made of?
The candles are made of a non-toxic fuel. using fatty acids and fatty alcohols similar to those used in the manufacture of cosmetics. They do not contain paraffin wax.

Are they safe?
The candles are non-toxic and have been tested to both EU, CE and American standards. We have also had them examined by independent candle testers who test for Tesco’s and Marks and Spencer.

Do you have copies of the safety tests passed?
We have safety assessment certificates for the candles.

How long do they burn for?
They burn for 75 minutes provided there are no draughts. If there are draughts, about an hour.
