COST PILLAR CANDLES 3.5p PER HOUR vs OIL CANDLES 1.5p-1.9p PER HOUR Running costs of oil candles are generally lower than wax candles. Pillar candles cost on average, between 3 and 4 pence per hour to run, while an oil candle is between one and two pence. that means a saving per candle per night of around 10pence. That may not sound like much, but if you have 20 tables that’s £2 a night, which is £14 a week, which is £728 pounds a year!! T-LIGHTS 1.2-1.5p PER HOUR vs OIL T-LIGHTS 1-1.3p PER HOUR Not a big saving here, but when you consider how much better oil candles look than t-lights, you can see that changing to a better product will not cost you anything in the long run. Add to that the costs saved on cleaning up wax and the savings become significant. MESS AND WASTE WAX = LOTS OF MESS AND WASTE vs OIL CANDLES = NONE There is no waste with oil candles. This means that when we say oil burns at 4ml per hour we mean it. When the burn time of a candle is quoted, they don’t take into account the amount of wax you are throwing away regularly, when the candle looks a mess, or the amount of wax that gets poured on to your tables! this takes time to clean up, and also, that’s wax you can’t burn, which reduces your candle burn time! APPEARANCE The variety of designs, styles and choice of oil colours means you can have something much more interesting than just a wax candle. and, crucially, an oil candle looks as good after hours of burning as it did when you first lit it, unlike wax.
