UCO Standard Candle

I love UCO products, especially my candle lantern. It's so nice having a warm light and a little heat when needed. These refills obviously fit the UCO candle lantern perfectly and burn a long time. They have no odor, give a nice bit of light, and help reduce humidity in your tent. I always keep them on hand.

Took it hiking and it burned from 6pm to 7am in my uco lantern. Burns clean with no odors and is a good replacement for the value. I usually set the lantern inside my tent vestibule to cut down on condensation.

There are no guarantees in life. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods are all around us and you should be ready when the "lights go out." Regardless what power companies say about their readiness before disaster strikes an area, electricity can and will fail sometimes. Electrical generators and battery lights are good, but when the gasoline for your generator is gone and all of your batteries are dead, it would be nice to have some type of light at night. These candles will do the trick. I have only used a few of them recently (2 hour power outage). They work fine. I put them inside some small drinking glasses so they cannot fall over. They burn virtually all of its wax so there is no dripping mess. Just remember - a candle is an open flame. Do not leave candles lit in an unoccupied room. Be careful of children, elders and pets. Make sure the candle is totally out when you are finished using them. And to be on the safe side, have a open box of baking soda (take the one from your refrigerator) nearby your lit candles. If a fire should develop, dump all the baking soda on the flames - this should stop many small fires. And finally if a fire should develop and you cannot put it out, make sure you have safe exit route from your home - better to be safe than a person in a body bag.

Candles are as expected. A reliable product. Fortunately have not had to use them yet.

Perfect burn! Our first try burned for more than 9 hours and it burned perfectly clean just like the original candles from REI. These candles are most welcome as the last set of UCO style candles all melted prior to being burned by the wick and made a great mess. Not to mention they didn't provide 8 hours of light.

I use these candles in a small UCO camping lantern inside of my camping/hunting blind. The heat from just the 3 candles breaks the cold and do stay lit for about 9 hours.

Works well

Top Quality Value and Service

Ich hab versucht mit alternativen Kerzen als den originalen Ersatzkerzen billiger weg zu kommen, aber es funktioniert nicht gut und lohnt nicht. Ich hab normale Stabkerzen der gleichen Stärke besorgt und auf die Länge gekürzt, aber die die ich probiert habe, haben alle zu starke Dochte gehabt. Dadurch entsteht eine zu große Flamme. Es rußt sehr stark und es schmilzt auch zu viel Wachs und läuft über. Resümee: Die originalen Kerzen sind perfekt abgestimmt, sehr hell, rußen nicht und halten sehr lange. Sie sind also durchaus ihr Geld wert, auch wenn 3Stk für 10€ schon ganz schön heftig sind. Also 5* für die Qualität und 3 für den Preis.

The original and best ...I have a long history of using the lantern and have trouble finding the real product...cheaper copy just melt...lantern a bit beat up now but still works well... nothing to go wrong really ...trust Amazon to have the real deal at a good price

Good candles that work for prolonged periods of time, as candle go that is. I’ve gotten up to 8 hours out of these. Others get longer so I wonder if things like altitude and humidity have an effect on how long they last. Point is that they last a long time, longer them most without the scents (stink) that most candle makers add these days. It’s bad enough that the power is out but then to suffer through the chemical stink, no thanks. While these do not have a scent I still feel bees wax candles are better, if you have to inhale any kind of petroleum product it’s not good for you and bees wax provides a natural soothing scent. That said they don’t last as long. I can justify having on in the BOB because they are light enough individually. For camping, we have little glass lanterns that we picked up at a foreign big box store years ago that these fit into nicely. The lanterns actually allow them to burn a little longer as there’s no wind blowing the flame around. Heat wise I can’t say that I have noticed them burning any hotter than another candle which uses the same size wick.

En otra ocasión, usé velas comunes y de cera de abeja, con el mismo resultado, un desastre con la cera que chorreó y para limpiarla, fué un relajo. No duden en comprar la original, o pasen la receta para hacerlas =)

Buena calidad
