The Supersun 4-pack of 13.5oz candles is designed for high-utility outdoor use, featuring decorative tins that are rated for high thermal resistance. Each candle utilizes a single high-gauge cotton wick and a soy-wax blend, prioritizing a long, steady burn over a rapid scent release. Specifications indicate a 5-7% oil concentration, which is effective for a 4-to-5-foot radius, making them suitable for placing around the edges of a patio.
Practical reality shows that because of the high volume of wax in each tin, the first burn must last at least 3 hours to establish a full edge-to-edge melt pool. If extinguished too early, the candle will "tunnel," which can waste up to 40% of the wax. While the soy-wax base produces significantly less soot than paraffin alternatives, the single-wick design is prone to being blown out by wind gusts exceeding 10 mph. The reinforced 0.3mm gauge tins are sturdy enough to be cleaned and upcycled once the wax is gone.
These candles are thermally stable and resist melting during shipping or storage in high summer heat. For full patio coverage, it is recommended to use "perimeter placement" rather than clustering them in one spot.
If you prefer a larger, 3-wick candle that provides more light and a faster melt pool, the WarmEmbrace 40oz jumbo candle is a heavy-duty option.
These decorative tins offer a balance of style and function to complement your citronella scented outdoor torches.
