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.
