Burns over 10 hours in a votive holder
I timed one of these. I have submitted a customer image for these candles that show what they look like in a votive holder, compared to a pen for size reference. In my customer photo, the candle has been burning for 10 hours, and it's still going strong. I expect I will easily get over 11 hours out of this single candle. If it wasn't in a votive holder, it wouldn't last 10 hours (in my opinion).These are very good quality candles - the wax burns almost completely so far. There is no soot, no smoke, and no smell. They leave behind no residue and virtually no wax at all in the votive holder after burning out.I am using the Eastland glass votive holders, a very good price at $11.99 for a dozen on Amazon.I bought these for emergency preparedness, as a very inexpensive option for having SOME light in our home. We tested a few, and to light a small area, like a table for playing cards or even reading, you need probably 4 of them going at the same time. The votive holders also help cast more light.Overall, I'm glad I bought them. I'm glad I tested them too, because now I know that I'll need to use several to get any useful light, as well as likely want to use a different light source in a emergency. For me, these are a good last option for light in an emergency situation inside the home. For more light, I'm considering a traditional kerosene lantern.------- UPDATE -------When the candle in the votive holder finally burned out, it had gone for 11 hours 48 minutes. Not bad at all. There is no noticeable wax in the bottom of the votive holder. Very efficient and clean candles. Will buy again.

Votive Candles a Real Value
I don't usually write a review of products. But when Amazon invited me to do so for this product, I was glad to to do so.I use a lot of candles because I have some fairly nice decorative holders and I like them lit, especially at night when watching a movie or listening to music. But I got tired of paying between 80 cents and a dollar on votive candles at retail shops. That gets expensive and that in turn discourages me from using them any time I feel like it.So I did a search for candles on Amazon, found this product, and did a quick calculation on price. These candles, even factoring in the shipping, cost a little more than 40 cents a candle -- half price! So I ordered a box. But would they work as well as the store-bought ones?Absolutely. Better. They last for a long time, longer than most I've bought in stores. I've never timed these, but 10 hours is what they advertise and that is probably about right. Many candles I have bought in the past last half that long. Also, I am midway through box two of these -- around 100 candles -- and have yet to run into a dud -- you know, when the candle burns too fast on one side and it collapses before the wax is used up, or the wick burns up before the wax does. Not one of these has done that to me. They all burn evenly and last the duration. Which only adds to the price savings: you're not throwing away defective ones.And, because they burn all the way to the bottom, it is much easier to remove the remains of them from the holder as there is very little left at the bottom to discard.They are not scented. So if you want scent, maybe you can buy a small box of scented candles and use one of them while burning two or three of these alongside.These candles are not just a substantial value but are a superior product. I'm very happy I took a chance on them. And the more you use and enjoy them, the more you'll appreciate their advantages.One more plus: these get delivered very quickly after ordering.

Work Great for Salt Candle Holders
These candles look very small when they arrive, but they really do burn for a very long time (I have not timed exactly how long yet). I really liked the box they came in - it keeps them together looking nice and tidy, and also helps protect them from being damaged during storage. As for the question I asked before purchasing these, YES, they do fit into salt candle holders. They burn very nicely in them (and that was the whole reason we bought these). These are very affordable votives for anyone who is using a lot of them - we saved quite a bit by buying them in bulk this way, and the box of all of them surprisingly isn't very big. I definitely recommend these, and plan on buying more when these are gone (but it will be awhile).

Nice Candles, Loose Wicks
The color and size of the candles was perfect for what I wanted to decorate at my friend's wedding. There was one flaw that caused a significant problem--the wicks were loose and would fall down inside the candle which made them fizzle out sooner than they should've. I will say that part of the problem was the candle holders I used because there was a space between the bottom of the candle and the candleholder itself. I am sure this wouldn't have been a problem if the candles had been flush with the candleholders. I was trying to save money and use the candleholders I already had. But if you use something that fits the candles so they can sit flat you shouldn't have to worry about this! Just thought I would share to make others aware.

Simple candles that last long
Short review: cute looking, unscented candles that burn for about 9h or moreSo I actually bought these a long time ago but never bothered to leave a review. Now I'm running low on these candles so I looked them up again and was a bit surprised at some reviews here that say they only last 4-5h. I was curious because I've never actually timed them. I only light them up in the evening, leave them on for a few hours before turning them off for bed.Long story short, this morning I lit one at 9:30 AM, set a timer for 4h, then 1h repeatedly throughout the day. It was still burning at dinner around 7 PM. Regrettably I forgot to reset the timer after dinner and also forgot to check in on it so I don't know when it went out. But that's at least 9 and a half hours.So maybe there are some bad batches? Honestly I don't know but based on my result I'm ordering another box.

Preis Leistung absolut top!
Ich bin seit Jahren Partylite Kerzen gewohnt und muss sagen, dass diese sind vergleichbar gut. Lange Brenndauer und ordentliches Abbrennen. Kaufe ich mir auf jeden Fall wieder.

Ottime candele
Arrivate nei tempi previsti. Ottimo imballaggio. Lasciano poco residuo e durano circa 3 ore. Le dimensioni sono piccole, ma le ho prese proprio perché a me servivano così. Sono soddisfatta dell’acquisto. Sicuramente consigliate.

White votive candles that burn well.
Great little candles, nicely made, unscented, great white colour and I tried out 2 of them last night and they burn down slowly and do not smoke. These fit in nicely to votive candle glass. They arrived in a cardboard box (well padded). Very good item and very good value for money too.
