This 12-pack set from Collabell features 2oz units housed in steel tinplate buckets. These small containers are designed for portability, making them a practical choice for spacing around the perimeter of a campsite or backyard patio. The 180-hour duration mentioned for the set reflects a cumulative total, with each individual bucket providing approximately 15 hours of use under standard conditions.
The materials include a soy-paraffin blend, which helps the candle maintain its structural integrity during high-temperature outdoor exposure. The tinplate construction offers high heat resistance, though the buckets will become hot to the touch during operation and should not be handled until cooled. To ensure the best usability, frequent trimming of the lead-free cotton wicks is recommended to prevent the flame from becoming too large or producing soot.
- Compact 2oz size fits easily in camping gear or small storage bins.
- Tin containers can be cleaned and repurposed for small hardware or craft storage.
- Soy-based wax is designed to leave less residue than traditional paraffin alternatives.
Tests indicate that the effective radius for these small units is typically less than 3 feet, so they are most helpful when placed close to seating areas. Because of their lightweight design, they are best used in shielded areas where they are protected from gusts exceeding 5mph.
For a single, long-lasting centerpiece instead of multiple small units, you may find the M&SENSE 41.5oz large tin more convenient for your needs.
