That sustainer has a 3mm neck holding the wick upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you burn your tealight candle down so that there is say 4 – 5mm of wax remaining in the bottom of the cup, that means there is only 1 – 2mm of unburnt wick sticking out the top of the metal sustainer neck. That is not enough wick to burn out to the edge and consume all of the beeswax remaining in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, if you want to burn your tealights over multiple sessions please ensure there is a MINIMUM of 6mm of beeswax in the bottom of the tealight cup (that’s around ½ the height of the 4-5hour tealight cup and just over 1\/3 of the height of the 8-9hour tealight cup).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you play your cards right, this should mean that you can get a couple of nights out of a 4 – 5 hour tealight and 3 evenings out of an 8 – 9 hour tealight.

Never burn a candle directly on to a timber surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink about where your candle flame is going to be when you light the candle and ensure there is nothing that can come into contact with the flame (loose paper, curtains or anything else flammable).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink about candle safety when you’re setting a dinner table… leave enough room between the candles to allow your guests to pass dishes and drinks without burning themselves or knocking the candles over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery child is different, so it is up to you whether it is appropriate to teach your child about fire or not and at what age. If you’re worried about fire safety around kids, think about putting the candles in a holder with a wide flat base (like a vase or fishbowl) and either keeping them out of reach, or, better still, educating the kids not to touch them while they’re burning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have had hundreds of customers over the years who have told us that they have taught their kids that when the candles are lit in the evening it is ‘quiet time’… dinner, bath \u0026amp; bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Queen B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41774321631287,"sku":"QBTLCICC78HR","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/9365\/0999\/files\/Screenshot2025-07-14at2.59.24PM.png?v=1752469217","url":"https:\/\/healthnutsaustralia.com.au\/products\/queen-b-pure-australian-beeswax-tealight-beeswax-candles-in-clear-cups-7-8-hour-burn-time","provider":"Health Nuts Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
