Tealight candles are typically made from high-quality paraffin wax or soy wax and are encased in small aluminium or clear plastic cups. Each tealight has a cotton wick and is designed for a consistent, clean burn. At Koch & Co, our unscented tealight candles are crafted for reliable performance, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor use. You can find a wide range of bulk tealight candles in our collection.
Typical tealight candles are thought to produce the equivalent of approximately 32 watts of power, though this can vary based on the type of wax used. Most tealight candles burn between three to five hours, with 4-hour and 9-hour options available. If your party or event continues for more than a few hours, it’s smart to have extra candles on hand. Be prepared by purchasing tealight candles in bulk to ensure your event stays beautifully lit throughout.
Tealight candles can float in water, making them a common but stunning choice for decorations at weddings and other events. Tealights are lightweight and flat enough that they have no trouble remaining on top of the surface of the water. As long as the tealights have a flat bottom, they will float on top of the water. With a tealight candle set, you can float more than one at a time. Buying tealight candles in bulk will give you even more opportunity to decorate your dinner tables, side tables, shelves and beyond with one-of-a-kind, ethereal, and captivating decor.
Yes, tealight candles are generally safe for both indoor and outdoor use, especially when used with proper holders like glass, ceramic, or metal. Always place your tea lights on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials. If safety is a top concern, especially around kids or pets, consider mixing in flameless LED candles in addition to your unscented tealight candles.
Absolutely! Clear cup tealight candles are perfect for use in outdoor lanterns, hurricane jars, or decorative holders. They add warm ambience to garden paths, party tables, and evening events. If you're planning an outdoor celebration, our bulk tealight candles are a convenient and cost-effective lighting option. Choose tealight candles 4 hour or 9 hour, depending on your event's length.
The primary difference is size and burn time. Tealight candles are small, round, and come pre-contained in a cup, which makes them ideal for short-term use in decorative displays or events. In contrast, regular candles like pillars or tapers are larger and burn for longer periods. Tealight candles are also much easier to place in lanterns, holders, and DIY décor projects. For affordable options, shop our cheap tealight candles in bulk online.
To extend the burn time of your tealight candles, use them in draft-free areas and always place them on flat, stable surfaces. Trimming the wick slightly before lighting and using high-quality unscented tealight candles also helps ensure a clean, longer-lasting burn. For events requiring extended light, opt for our tealight candles, 9 hours.
While tealight candles already come in metal or plastic cups, placing them in decorative holders is recommended for both safety and style. Holders help contain the heat, enhance the aesthetic, and prevent wax spills. Browse our collection of crystal candle holders and lanterns to elevate your candle presentation, especially when using tealight candles wholesale at large events.
