geoffrey hedges: I love staying in my Caravan and used its specifically for it Lamp. They are a bit expensive so I use them sparingly. But they last a good while, and are of good quality materials. PEACE

Mike: Definitely not worth it burning the candle at both ends. Used each night in the screen house along with the UCO candle lantern, for varying times each night while winding down after a long day playing a few rounds of cards. We ordered a three pack with the intention to burn them down during the adventures of glamping out in the not so wild. The candles burned leaving behind a semi sweet aroma in their wake. Highly recommend having the set saving battery time and for emergency preps. I had one of the lanterns when they first came out, but unfortunately a family member thought it best if they took it for their personal use without permission... was and still is a great alternative to an oil burning hurricane lantern and the batteries in the flashlight wasted.

Christopher wray: So these candles give a lovely clear light and smell although as they are beeswax if u let them burn all the way down they can gum up the lantern candle holder. Best way to clear it to pop the candle holder into a small bowl of hot water then u free the spring and base plate

Erin M.: We recently spent 48 hours without power after a nor'easter. I set up my mini UCO lantern with the pac flat reflector. It was 30°. The beeswax candle was lit for over 24 hours straight. That was a positive. The negative was that it seemed to be barely lit, and hardly gave off light. It did burn out completely without dripping into the spring. The white wax candles burn brighter but faster, so I guess it depends on what you are looking to use it for.

TheBlackSheepTheBlackSheep: UCO beeswax candles have some slight variance between the placement of wick centers. Wick placement is essential to getting the longest burn time from a candle. The UCO candle lanterns have a slight tilt to them. This might affect how the candles burn and could explain why their candles work better than any secondary market substitutes.

The candles smell like Bit-O-Honey candies.

The beeswax candles are slightly larger and made here in the United States with beeswax sourced from Texas beekeepers. Their standard candles are made in Thailand. As you can see from the pictures, the difference in quality is obvious. Besides the size difference and the pre-drilled well found on the beeswax candles, the method of wick placement is different. You can see there is a small gap between the wick and the wax in the candles made of beeswax. The beeswax candles are likely drilled, the wick threaded through, and the bottom heated in order to get the metal tab to stick to the bottom. This is why the beeswax candles always stand flat and you do not have to deal with lopsided candles.

This is a clear case of quality over quantity.

In short, pay the money and get the...

M. Ross: First: Yes, they are really very expensive for candles.

These fit into UCO (or similar) breakdown candle lanterns. The lanterns usually come with paraffin candles, which are great and last a long time. These replacement candles are made from beeswax, however. They do last considerably longer than the paraffin versions. What I really like about them, however, is that they give off a really pleasing, mild scent as they burn. I use these when I'm illuminating the inside of my tent or cabin rather than the other ones. I also appreciate that they are a natural resource.

The quality is high, and they burn very evenly and as long as advertised. My experience is that the wicks on these have been self-trimming and have never broken off between uses. These seem to have held up well in the hot environments of the desert, my enclosed gear box, and the interior of my truck, never melting to the point of being misshapen.

But the cost, you say? Well, yeah. For me, it's a value proposition: I enjoy and prefer the gentle glow of candlelight when I'm camping or backpacking, over the bright light and hiss of my white-gas-driven light whenever I can help it. They do last a good,...
