The Coleman Pine Scented candle is housed in a tin-plated steel vessel, offering a portable and durable option for temporary outdoor setups like camping or picnics. The inclusion of a synthetic pine masking agent helps manage the sharp scent typically associated with citronella, making it a more subtle choice for those sensitive to industrial odors.
Specifications indicate the use of a wooden wick designed to produce a crackling sound. Practical use shows that these wicks are highly sensitive to trim height and wind. To maintain a steady flame, keeping the wick trimmed and the candle shielded from gusts exceeding 5 mph is recommended. The 1% citronella concentration is designed for a localized protection radius of approximately 3 feet around the user.
Usage and Handling
The metal container is highly conductive. Within 20 minutes of ignition, the exterior can reach temperatures exceeding 160°F. It is important to place the tin on a heat-stable surface and avoid moving it until the wax has fully solidified. The paraffin blend has a melting point of approximately 125°F, meaning storage in a hot vehicle could lead to the wax liquefying inside the tin.
If your organization needs require a larger set of candles for a full perimeter, a multipack of pillars may be a more efficient choice for your storage bins.
For organizers looking to keep seasonal items contained and ready for travel, viewing the flameless citronella candle lanterns section provides insights into various portable lighting solutions.
