The only difference that sets them apart from others is their diameter. Such a candle will need a stand so that the paraffin fills the voids and does not spread around.

If we talk about decorative ones, then they can come across to you on store shelves not only in the standard candle form, but also in the form of figurines. If ordinary ones do not appeal to you, then pay attention to gel ones. Most often they are in some container, with which they make up a certain composition. Such a candle can not only be lit, but also simply admired.

Reed reeds have a reed-shaped core and burn out quickly enough. This option should be considered for outdoor use only. Electric in nature relate more to lamps, inside of which there are 2 metal plates. They give off electricity and thus create light, while in a glass case that is painted. Bulk have no restrictions on shape and size. It all depends only on your preferences and capabilities.

Each one is unique in its own way, as this is achieved by immersing pre-prepared materials in a container with paint. According to the resulting pattern, they begin to cut until the workpiece cools down.

Some of these twisted specimens reach a mass of 50 kilograms and have antique ornaments. If your composition implies a certain scene, then your choice may fall on curly ones.

But it is worth remembering that if you decide to place such a light source as the main one, then you need to try to position it so that your eyes do not get tired of the strain. If you doubt that you can achieve such a result, you should postpone such an idea.
