Love these candles for a candle lighting service just make sure you get the holders. They last a long time and no scent.

Very please with the candles. Our order was well packaged and arrived quickly. The candles were of good quality with little to no dripping, scent-free, and no overwhelming, choking smoke when blown out. Perfect for our church's candlelight services. I would definitely recommend these to others.

I was looking for candles to use in our church's Scandinavian Christmas tree table displays. These look lovely and work well, but I needed to shave them down at the bottom to make them fit into the holders nicely. I used sticky wax (available on Amazon) to keep them nice and straight all season. They did the trick. We don't burn them so we'll use them again next year.

They were better fits in our plastic holders than the ones we had.

Working good

Tbese are tall, narrow candies such as those used for Christmas candlelight services or some outdoor services. I found that fit our small-sized German Advent arch perfectly (first photograph). I was expecting these candles to drip based on other reviews, but when put perfectly straight upright as in the Advent arch, they did not drip over the first four 1/2 hour uses of that arch (second photograph). Carefully inspecting the tops of the burned candles, I cannot see any sign that they will start to drip (third photograph). However, I do see a meniscus of liquid wax at the too of each candle shortly after I light them each time, so, if you held or mounted these candles at any angle other than straight upright and steady, I certainly expect that they WOULD drip wax with such use. They are much to tall and heavy to be uses in the German Christmas tree candle holders we have, so they are NOT suitable for that kind of use (which is highly dangerous anyway!), but for an Advent arch mounted on a fireproof surface that seem to do quite well for us. If you have a German Christmas Pyramid or one of the larger, 5-candle German Advent arches, these candles will probably be too small to fit correctly into those candle sockets, which appear to be one size larger, but for the small Advent arch they seem to be perfect.

These are adequate if you just want to put an affordable candle in as many hands as possible. However, the burn time is short, and it drips lots of wax everywhere. I think next time I will use a longer and thinner candle instead.

Perfect candles for our application - Christmas Eve. Delivered in a timely manner and at a good price.
