3 candle candlelier- experiences

[shack]

Hi all, now I've been checking out candle lanterns like they're going out of fashion and came across the uco 3 candle jobbies, has any tried these?
I like the extra light and bit of heat they pump out but cheapest I can find is just over £40 so a fair wedge to hold your candles I know.
If I only went for a single I'd be leaning towards a bushlite over the uco from the build quality aspect, but please let me know your thoughts.

Bushlites seemed to have vanished from sale (or they had last time I looked). You would think someone in China would have come up with a similar product for just a couple of quid by now as material wise their is not much to them. I have a brass Uco after failing to find a bushlite.

I've e-mailed the South African Bushlite website to see if they can suggest a reliable UK supplier and also enquired about the possibility of a group buy. I'll let you know what they say...

Candelier is just too expensive to run imo. 3 of the candles each time gets expensive. I have two brass bushlites and they are lovely bits of kit and take standard candles. Hard to find though!

Thanks for all your responses, I looked a tea light version (uco micro?)in cycle surgery yest as they were on offer for about a tenner. I want some reasonable light which is why I was thinking of the three one, I know they could cost a bit to run if I used all three all the time, but gives the option for one, two or three at any time. Im moving two tilley lamps on so got a clear 45 pounds to throw at my candle stuff before swmbo raises her .........head.
Anyone actually got or had one of the three candle lanterns?

I am sure I have seen a version of one of those on Aliexpress for just a couple of quid.

NB just checked and they are now about the same price as Amazon
