Brilux Classic White Candles in Glass, Set of 4, 8-INCHES Tall

They are the best white column candles around. Burn bright and clean.

Ordered set of 4 for $15.26, say $4 each. Lit immediately with butane lighter.The 8" tall jars are 2 3/16" diameter. Could say they are tall votive candles.As they burn down, the butane lighter will be the only way to start them again.They come with a fully stuck on label that tells us they come from Mexico.Good ratings always seem to drive prices up -- now $18 a set !@#$%!1st American Imports says they are an autistic hire. No info is readily available.Certainly Amazon has plenty of opportunity to give us a line or two in theiryard-long messy and confusion product scroll. Don't know that autistic adultsworking in an import warehouse somewhere in Texas is happy or beneficial.Bought these candle-jars to replace dangerous candles in open candle holdersthat could easily cause fire. I'll get more, be ready for next power outage.To remove soot: Wrap a piece of T-shirt rag around a wood handled siliconefood scraper. Using plain water remove as much residue as possible. Useanother rag, 1/2 white vinegar to 1/2 water, plus squirt of dish detergent.If that doesn't get it, use a 3rd rag with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Rinsejar, with candle still in place with plain water. Do not leave tequila in the jar!Try not to mangle the wick. Ebb

Give a nice light, but the glass is breakable. One was broken in shipping.

They all came wrapped individually in bubble-mailers, so they were all still in perfect condition, which I was quite pleased with.

Candles were good but even though they were well wrapped, one arrivrd shattered, much like others had reported

Very disappointed! Especially for the price! These are the exact same paraffin garbage you can buy at the local Dollar store."Most candles today are made of paraffin wax which creates highly toxic benzene and toluene when burned (both are known carcinogens). In fact, the toxins released from paraffin candles are the same as those found in diesel fuel fumes and are linked to asthma and lung cancer.The environmental impact of paraffin should also be noted. Crude oil, being the origin of paraffin wax, is considered highly unsustainable, being a non-renewable resource. It has also been the cause of many environmental calamities, in oil spills, damage of natural habitats and climate change." -Melanie Rousselet, artisane-nyc.com, Aug. 14, 2019.

I've purchased them twice just because I really like the size and quality. They're a little more expensive than similar candles you can by at the grocery store, but I like their simplicity and they last quite a while. I use them decoratively but they're useful to have on-hand for emergency use too.

Pleasant background candle.
