The Peln 4-pack consists of 7.4oz units housed in 0.23mm tinplate tins. These tins feature a reinforced rolled-edge rim, which adds to the build quality compared to more basic metal containers. Using natural soy wax, these candles offer a lower emission profile than paraffin-based competitors, and the 5% citronella concentration meets the industry threshold for effective open-air diffusion.
While the 200-hour claim for the set is high, real-world tests suggest about 35 to 42 hours per tin is more standard with proper wick maintenance. The tinplate housing is designed for efficient thermal dissipation, which helps prevent the exterior from becoming hot enough to scorch wooden patio tables. For the best results, place these units at 3-foot intervals to create a perimeter barrier rather than grouping them in a single central cluster.
- Natural soy wax provides a cleaner burn with less soot.
- Compact tin size is ideal for organizing summer gift sets or camping kits.
- Rolled-edge tins provide better structural integrity for outdoor use.
The scent throw is effective for a 6- to 8-foot radius per unit. These candles are a reliable mid-tier choice for those who want the benefits of soy wax in a portable and sturdy format for seasonal use.
If you prefer a single, much larger candle that can burn for over 150 hours, the 34oz Aottom 3-wick candle is an alternative to using multiple small tins.
