How to find the right Candelabras AI guide
Written by an AI model from its trained knowledge.
What the AI looks for in Candelabras
- Socket size
- Sockets should fit standard 7/8-inch taper bases, or come with adapters. Most tapers are made to this size, and mismatched sockets cause leaning candles.
- Arm spacing
- Flames should be far enough apart that one taper does not soften or melt the one next to it. Tightly packed arms make tapers bend and drip.
- Weighted base
- The base must be heavy and wide enough to stay upright with every arm loaded. Multi-arm holders are top-heavy.
- Bobeches or drip cups
- Look for removable drip collars at each socket. They protect the finish and the tablecloth.
What to avoid
- Lightweight plated pieces with narrow bases
- Very tall candelabras in homes with pets or small children
