Decorative Tealight Candle Holders

 

A tealight is a type of candle that is used to keep tea or food warm for longer hours. It is also used as a night light. It has a metal cover as opposed to the regular candles and melts completely when lit. Tealights are also used to heat fondue. It is used to provide accent lighting and can be used for heating up scented oil too. A tealight lasts for about 4-5hours and has a faint light unless combined with multiple tealights.

Tealights are mostly used for decorative purposes. Things to know about decorative tealight candle holders:

·        Holders: Tealights are mostly used in decorative tealight candle holders. Holders can be made of metal, ceramic, cast stone, river stone, and even glass. Holders have cups that are rightly sized for tealights.

·        Cup Styles: Cups are generally made of metal. However, in recent times, cups have been made out of clear plastic too. The clear cup helps in radiating more light as opposed to the metal cup. Color stained glasses are also used to provide a pretty effect. To make the entire wax liquify, new cups have shapes that slope inwards towards the wick, as a result of which the wax pool is forced towards the wick.

·        Variety: Tealights come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Some tealights are even scented with various types of aroma.

In spite of mostly being used for decoration, care must be taken when using tealights as they can easily overheat and even lead to fires at times. The material of the holder and the cups should be checked thoroughly before investing in them in order to avoid overheating and accidents.
