Circle Shape and Scented Feature tealight candle - Long Burn

A Field Note on Tealights: Why This Circle, Why This Scent

I’ve handled more tea lights than I care to admit, but the moment I picked up the Circle Shape and Scented Feature tealight candle, I thought: ah, this is the familiar workhorse—only a bit more dialed-in. Markets ebb and flow, but small-format scented candles keep gaining ground in spas, weddings, and yes, even solemn services. Multi-colored packs, fruit notes, clean burns. To be honest, the basics still win.

Quick Industry Snapshot

Demand for compact, affordable ambience is resilient. Scented tealights are trending toward safer wicks, steadier burn cycles, and compliant labeling. Surprisingly, many customers say they still prefer paraffin for its consistent flame profile over newer waxes—especially in high-turnover hospitality settings where predictability matters.

Process Flow and Testing

Materials: refined paraffin, IFRA-aligned fragrance load (~2–4%), stable dye. Methods: controlled melt, deaerated pour, wick centering, staged cooling to reduce sinkholes. QC: weight check, wick pull test, varnish-free cup inspection. Safety and performance testing reference: ASTM F2417 (fire safety), EN 15493 (flame stability), EN 15426 (sooting), and EN 15494 (labeling). Typical test readouts I’ve seen: steady flame height ≈ 15–25 mm, sooting index within EN limits, self-extinguish at end-of-life. Service life: up to 4 hours; shelf life ≈ 24 months in dry storage.

Where It’s Used (and Why It Works)

Spa and wellness rooms, wedding tablescapes, memorial services, religious observances, birthday backdrops, and everyday home moments. The Circle Shape and Scented Feature tealight candle delivers consistent flame and approachable fragrance. Many buyers (planners especially) like the multi-color assortments; it seems that color-coding per zone actually helps staff reset venues faster.

Vendor Comparison (Condensed)

Vendor	Certs	Burn Consistency	MOQ	Lead Time	Customization	Price
Litbright (this model)	BV, BSCI	High (≈4h ±10%)	Low (≈100 pcs)	≈ 15–30 days	Color, scent, pack, label	$
Generic Importer A	Basic	Variable	Medium	Unclear	Limited	$–$$
Boutique Craft B	Local/Artisan	Good	Very low	Short	High	$$–$$$

Customization and Packaging

Options: multi-color assortments, private-label sleeves, fruit-forward scents (apple, citrus, berry), and gift-ready PVC boxes. For retail, I’d ask for EN 15494-compliant warnings and barcodes; for hospitality, bulk cartons with color sorting save time.

Real-World Notes and Case Snippets

A regional spa chain ran the Circle Shape and Scented Feature tealight candle in treatment rooms—reported calmer flame jitter and less residue on holders over 60 days. A wedding planner used the multi-color pack for zoning: peach for welcome tables, green for bar areas—surprisingly effective visual cue, they said.

Safety, Storage, and Compliance

Keep away from drafts, trim wick to ≈5 mm, and don’t cluster too tightly—basic, but crucial. Fragrance inputs should align with IFRA guidance; ask for batch conformity. If you’re retailing in the EU, verify EN fire and soot testing; the RAL quality mark is a nice bonus.
