Lamp OIl

No.  The fuel is classed as combustible and not flammable.  Furthermore, because it is contained it never comes into contact with skin, eyes or anything else!

It is very important to use a good quality lamp oil in an oil candle, or a traditional oil lamp.  

The best quality lamp oil, such as Clearcraft lamp oil, is indeed paraffin but it is not the same as you might find in a paraffin heater for example.

This depends on the model. The smallest candles use 4ml per hour and the largest 5 -6mm an hour.  Our smallest candle, the cell 50 will burn for ten hours before it needs re-filling.

Firstly, what is toxicity?

Liquid wax is very high quality Lamp Oil. This is a very highly refined grade of paraffin, that will not smell or smoke when burning.

We recommend Clearcraft Lamp Oil. This is a very highly refined grade of parrafin, that will not smell or smoke when burning.
