UCO Original Regular Candle (Pack of 3) - White

Satisfactory

Unlike some reviewers I'm rating and reviewing the actual product listed, namely genuine UCO candles! I purchased from Amazon directly and they shipped me genuine product as one would expect. These are the regular, unscented paraffin wax candles supplied by UCO in a box of three. They are correctly sized for their lantern and work exactly as advertised. If you prefer you can order a citronella scented version to ward off insects, or a natural beeswax option that burns for considerably longer and avoids the potential respiratory health issue of petrochemical soot from a paraffin candle. They are, however, a lot more expensive! There isn't a great deal more to say, except that if you purchase from a third party marketplace seller you may well be sent a non UCO generic alternative, but that's a reflection on the seller, not the UCO candles which we are supposed to be rating here. In these days of ubiquitous and long lasting LED lights, candle lanterns are used far less frequently. But I for one enjoy the ambiance of a flame, and the citronella deters insects too as a bonus. A candle is useful in survival situations too, which is why they frequently appear in survival kits. Old school has it's benefits. Five stars from me. Keep up the good work, UCO.

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

Really handy.

Great candles for the uco candle lantern used in mountain tent on wildcamp in scotland - no soot or smell lasted the quoted time some a little over the time very clean burning and give out a surprising amount of heat. Only downside is the price I think larger packs at a better price would be a good idea if like me you want to go for a week to ten days like i do itll soon get expensive.buying them 3 at a time.

Goes without saying really. Does the job well at putting out a little ambient light.

As expected

good product but too expensive

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.

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.

Aun no la he probado,pero las medidas y material son casi iguales a la original de Edelrid,que era capaz de encontrar.

perfect!

キャンプよりです。停電の時にも使えそうです。ほのかな灯りは落ち着きますね。
