UCO Candles for Candle Lanterns, 3.5-Inch

Product Information

If you have a suitable, sturdy candle holder, taper candles can be great for emergencies. They make it easy to collect the wax for reuse. And, since these are made from beeswax, you’ll want to save that wax! A lot of people get candles as generic gifts. I have a whole shelf of scented, pretty candles that I got from coworkers. Even though bathrooms typically require more foot-candles, you can probably get by with one or two candles in the bathroom. You probably will just be carrying a candle into the bathroom with you when you go instead of leaving it constantly illuminated.

But it probably takes more than 1 candle to produce adequate lighting for your home. So, you also need to calculate how many candles you need to illuminate the space. In forums, I’ve seen people go into tirades about the best emergency lighting option. I’m not going to do this, mostly because I believe there is no one “best” emergency lighting option.As for their burn time, they seem to live up to their 115-hour promise (I didn’t time it, though!). That comes out to 50 hours of lighting. However, you want to add a margin of error of 50%, so you instead calculate 75 hours. Safe, Reliable Lighting: Emergency lantern candle holder features a spring-loaded base for a steady burn.

Technically these aren’t candles – they are lanterns because they use liquid paraffin. Because they are so popular, I thought they were worth adding here with the best emergency candles.

UCO candle lanterns are aluminium lanterns, used since the early 70’s, designed specifically for UCO’s own candles as a form of light and heat. They can be also be used with any regular candle that fits. Note that these are made to fit into a UCO lantern. You could adhere them to a plate, but the lantern is the safest option. This is the best candle lantern for those who need more light and are happy with the larger physical size. The first is their low cost. Candles can also produce heat, which might be life-saving if you don’t have an alternative heating option. Pros of Using Emergency Candles
