The Mosquito Guard tea lights feature a blend of soy and beeswax, distinguishing them from standard paraffin-only options. This composition is intended to provide a cleaner burn with less respiratory irritation. The wax is infused with a 15% volatile load of citronella, lemongrass, and rosemary oils, which is a higher concentration than many industry standards.
The 38mm aluminum tins are a standard size, making them compatible with almost all decorative glass lanterns. Because the high oil load and soy wax have a lower melting point (around 120°F), these candles may "sweat" or soften if stored in temperatures above 90°F. For the best burn reliability, use these in areas shielded from the wind, as their effectiveness can decrease significantly in gusts over 3mph.
Practical safety features include a DEET-free formulation that is suitable for localized use, such as in the center of a patio table. The aluminum base conducts heat aggressively, so placing them on a heat-resistant coaster will help prevent marks on finished wood furniture. These tea lights are a practical choice for those who prioritize natural ingredients and compatibility with existing decor.
If you require a larger quantity for an emergency kit or a big event, the 50-pack of bulk tea lights offers more units for wider coverage.
