The TIKI White Wax Bowl is constructed with a cast concrete composite base, providing significant weight to prevent tipping in windy conditions. The interior of the bowl is treated with a sealant to help prevent wax from seeping into the porous concrete. The paraffin-based wax is formulated with a higher melting point to help maintain its structure in temperatures exceeding 90°F, making it a reliable choice for summer use on a deck or patio.
To get the most out of the candle, an initial burn of at least 2 hours is recommended to help prevent "tunneling" and ensure the wax melts evenly to the edges. While the concrete is durable, it can be sensitive to moisture-freeze cycles; storing the bowl indoors during winter months helps prevent the chassis from cracking. The large wick is specifically designed to maximize the dispersal of the citronella scent across a 3-5 foot area.
- Weighted concrete base provides excellent wind resistance.
- Neutral white and concrete aesthetic fits modern outdoor decor themes.
- Sealant-lined bowl prevents wax migration through the base.
If you are looking for a more portable, battery-operated flickering effect, the Hompavo LED flame lights offer a flameless alternative.
