Candlelight Vigil Candle

If your church is having a candlelight service, we have the candles you need.

Our most popular handheld candles are the #18, #24 and #32 handheld candles.

We offer these candles in either

• bulk pack cartons of 250 candles -bobeches sold separate
• small pack cartons of 100 candles with paper bobeches included

Under ideal conditions, these candles burn about 1" per half hour. Ideal conditions are considered as:?

• indoors with no HVAC draft
• no candle movement
• moderate temperature and humidity.

You need about 3 to 3.5"?of the candle left over to hold it safely and avoid the paper or plastic wax protector.

Handheld Candle Burn Time Estimates-Straight Sided Candles

• #18 6-1/2" long?candle has a useful burn of about 3" or may burn out in 45-90 minutes
• #24 5-3/4" long?candle has a useful burn of about 2"??or may burn out in30-60 minutes
• #32? 4-1/2" long?candle has a useful burn of about 1"?or may burn out in 15-30 minutes

Remember, with a handheld candle, nobody can guarantee a burn time because so many factors are at work. Even the angle at which the candle is held will affect the burn time! The times above are to give you a rough idea of which candle to select. If you need a candle to burn for 20 minutes, then don't select the #32 which could go out in 15 minutes.
