What the AI looks for in Tea Lights
- Size
- Standard tea lights fit standard holders. Maxi tea lights are wider and will not. Size mismatches are the most common tea light mistake.
- Burn time
- Standard tea lights burn about four hours. Extended versions burn longer. Match the burn time to the length of the event.
- Cup
- Metal cups are standard. Clear cups let more light through in glass holders. Clear cups give a brighter glow in glass holders.
- Spacing
- Do not cluster tea lights so they touch. Pooled heat can liquefy the wax and cause a flare-up.
Brands that matter
- Hyoola: Bulk unscented tea lights.
- Bolsius: Established European candle maker.
- Bluecorn Beeswax: Beeswax tea lights.
What to avoid
- Tea lights burned directly on surfaces without a holder
- Clustering tea lights so they touch
Questions
Can I put a tea light in a votive holder?
Yes. A tea light fits in a votive holder, but a votive will not burn safely without its own holder.
