Burn Times

Each type of candle has an approximate burn time. These times can be affected if the candle is placed in a drafty area which will speed up the candle burn time. But as a general rule of thumb:

Tea Lights	4 - 5 hours

Votives	10 - 20 hours

Pillars
3" wide x 3" high	45 - 60 hours
3" wide x 6" high	95 - 120 hours
3" wide x 9" high	120 - 150 hours
6" wide x 6" high	170 - 200 hours
ﾠ
Tapers
4"	2 hours
6"	4 hours
8"	6 hours
10"	8 hours
12"	10 hours

Ball Candles	20 - 25 hours

Floating Candles	3 - 5 hours

A note about pillar candles
Pillar candles are designed to hold the wax within the candle and as it burns down into the center, results in a lovely glow. To properly burn a pillar candle, you should allow the candle to burn at least one hour for each inch of the candles diameter or width each time you burn the candle.

For Example:
2" wide x 6" tall Pillar Candles should burn at least 2 hours
3" wide x 5" tall Pillar Candles should burn at least 3 hours
4" wide x 9" tall Pillar Candles should burn at least 4 hours

By burning pillar candles for the correct length of time, you are allowing the entire top layer of wax to completely melt resulting in an even burn.
