Ikea 9 hour tea light candles

[Badger74]

As it says in the title.

I was in Ikea the other week and saw/bought their larger tea light candles. The advertised burn time of 9 hours is correct, because when I got home I tested it! Possible smaller alternative to the UCO candle set up.

How much were they? for how many?

ASDA also sell them - £2 for a bag of 10, but a multi buy of 2 packs for £3

Stocked up with a few bags at the weekend

I doubt it...the candles are very wide, I'd say about 2.5 times the size of a standard tea light.

If you buy the 'Knight Long Burning Tealights - 9 Hours Approx.' Qty 10, you'll find that they fit your UCO Tea Light Lantern perfectly, last longer than 9 hours...... And cost a quid a box! UK distributor website, here.

I found mine in a terrific hardware/India cookware shop in Camden, but they should be easy to find virtually everywhere.

Edit: I wrote the price of the Birthday candles which I bought at the same time by mistake, the 9 hour candles are £1:75 a box, not £1:00.

Errr ............... the £15 delivery charge might rule out most folks - is there a way of avoiding it?

Er'..... Yes!

I found mine in a terrific hardware/India cookware shop in Camden, but they should be easy to find virtually everywhere.

My intention in posting a photograph of the actual item, and stating that I had found mine in a hardware/cookware shop and that they should be easy to find virtually anywhere, was to enable folks to recognize the 'actual' item, and to have an idea as to the type of shops in their area which may stock them.

I provided a link to the UK distributor so that they may be contacted to see if they could provide details of shops that they supply in one's local area.

Helix thats a great link mate cheers. If you ever go by that shop again and buy some im more than happy to cover the cost of any expenses you incur. Obviously as long as it doesnt cost more than £15... lol

Good find though.

I will give them a call to see if anyone here sells them maybe.

I wonder why they burn so long?

Cheers

I wonder why they burn so long?

I reckon its because although they're the same diameter as the tea light candle supplied with the UCO Mini Lantern, they're 10mm higher.

Someone with more knowledge than me (that's everyone!) may suggest that the wax/wick combination increases burn time?

Or, it is nine hours for the complete pack of ten.

Actual test required.

Its that time again......

Actual test has actually taken place...... Which is how I know that they "last longer than 9 hours" each!

 

[IanM]

Or even:

'Knight Long Burning Tealights - 9 Hours Approx.' Qty 10, you'll find that they fit your UCO Tea Light Lantern perfectly, last longer than 9 hours

I missed the 'each' in the earlier post and it has now vanished.

I find myself recalling a language related quote......

Cool Ikea does it again! Ive got a small candle lantern that holds t lights, so I'll grab a pack of those next time im there.

Helix - thanks for clarifying - I always was a bear of little brain - the clue is in my user name - (spell it backwards).

 

[helixpteron]

I've just discovered these in a local 'pound shop' type store, which rather pleased me!

If your in the Bristol area, a shop called Rajanis sells these Knights 9 hour candles for 99p.
