Small yet versatile, this tea light candle comes neatly encapsulated in a classic round metal cup—typically aluminum—measuring about 38 mm (1.5″) in diameter and 12–16 mm (0.5–0.6″) high. Designed to burn fully with a clean, steady flame for approximately 2 to 5 hours depending on size, it offers reliable, drip-free light ideal for setting a cozy ambiance. The contained design ensures safe, easy placement in holders, lanterns, on tables for romantic dinners, weddings, temples, or relaxing spa settings. Crafted from unscented wax (often paraffin or soy-based) with a lead-free cotton wick, these candles produce minimal soot and smoke, creating an elegant and hygienic glow. When burned, the entire candle liquefies inside the cup, maximizing light output without spilling wax. The metal cup also makes cleanup a breeze—simply extinguish, let cool, and discard or recycle. These tea lights are typically sold in bulk: 10‑packs for personal use, or larger orders of hundreds for events or commercial venues, catering to a wide range of needs.
