Firefly Refillable, Clear Glass Unscented Tealight Candles - 5 Pack - Bulk Long Burning Tea Lights Cotton Wick & Holder Included

I'm a huge fan of these. I have a pretty extensive crystal votive collection that I light throughout the house (a small portion shown in the attached picture) almost every night along with some cool blue fairy lights to relax to while listening to music (usually classical and usually Debussy or Ravel piano rep). I was looking for clear tealight-sized candles that would allow only the clarity of the crystal to shine through the flame. After first trying clear gel tealight candles (very beautiful but I was going through scads of them quickly) and then moving to disposable oil tealight candles (also beautiful but with a distractingly large metal part to hold the wick in place as well as having to buy them by the boatload). I then bought a set of these (tealight sized). I just love these! They are refillable and made of sturdy borosilicate glass, and the aluminum part that holds the wick in place is very small and discreet and does not detract from the effect I was looking for. Nothing gets in the way of the flame reflecting off high quality crystal -- EXACTLY what I was looking for. Each set comes with a small funnel to make it easier to refill. I bought a gallon of the fuel and find that with a little practice it is very easy to refill them, and believe me, because I light 25 of these puppies at a time on a nightly basis, I need to refill them often. Replacing the wicks is a bit trickier, but once I learned that tweak, that is easy as well. There are a few tricks I've learned along the way as far as the right amount of wick to allow for good flame and little smoke, etc. However, I absolutely love these and have 5 sets now (5 per set), and every single solitary one of them is showcasing a piece of beloved crystal and is lit on a nightly basis. The other larger sizes are also great for pillar candle holders and last a bit longer. (Now if I can just find some version of this in a taper candle to use in my taller crystal candlesticks. (And YES, I do have a fire extinguisher on hand.! ☺) HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.

These work much better with the new collars. The old collars caused some wicking/leaking, enough to pool under the light. The collars are the small metal piece that hold the wick in the neck of the glass tea light. I am using them as actual tea lights to keep tea warm. They go into a Japanese cast iron warmer to keep a cast iron tea pot warm. Because of this they will occasionally smolder when the flame is are near the top of the tea warmer.What I like:They are much warmer than wax tea candles, even at a comparable or even smaller flame sizeThey last longer as wellThey are really really pretty just sitting out!They are almost the exact same diameter as regular wax tea lights, just about twice as tall because of the collar.The customer service of this company is fantastic!What I don't like:New collars installed and wicking is eliminated!(The tops just sit in the collar which leads to wicking even when you fill below the recommended 3/4 mark. The wicking happens around the outside edge of the metal wick holder.)The wick is ridiculously sensitive. At 1/16" it burns out all the time and at 1/8" you practically have a forest fire. So get ready to measure 3/32! Seriously it will take some finagling for you to get it right. Fortunately once it is set not much to mess with. Be patient and try a few different lengths. If you're just burning open air or in a tea light holder it won't be a big deal. But if you are using them as tea warmers you will have to work at it.Finally the cost, the price for these verges on the ridiculous. You can find tea lights at a craft shop for .99 for 100 sometimes you can even find the 1000 pack for 5.99 so you could easily have tea lights for the next three years with the price for these 5 lights. They will by no means look as pretty though, won't be as warm, and won't last as long. I will make it back in the long run say the next five years if I don't break em! But they feel pretty tough so I am not too concerned about that.Tips:Do not use cheap oil in these! It is cheap but it will not work with these small wicks. High quality high purity lamp oil specifically designed for small wicks less than 1/2" wide. I would also say away from the liquid paraffins and never citronella!Be patient with the wick, it will take some work to get rightFill with a squeeze bottle like the lab ones used for precise cleaning and dispensing like the one below:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VG3U230?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00Again phenomenal customer service that is friendly and willing to look for options rather than just pass the buck. They are also very proactive as you can see from the response to my earlier review.So would I buy them again? Actually yes I would although with five I don't see needing to buy them again.

These are very cute and well made. The customer service is also TOP NOTCH. So, if you have issue with any Firefly products, reach out because they are very happy to help you. These are NOT suited for outdoor use. We intended to use them on our picnic table as we eat outside daily in warm months. HOwever, they will blow out almost instantly, even with the ready source of fuel. You can have a steady burn by using a longer wick, but that will eat the fuel within an hour. Also, the design could be better. If you lose the wick INTO the holder, the ridge around it will prevent ease of retrieving it. I had to empty it of fuel, then rig a paperclip situation and spend 5 minutes trying to fish it out because it gets caught under that ridge. Customer service has been super helpful, but I don't anticipate these will meet our intended use. Which is no fault of the product, really. It doesn't say it's intended for outdoors. We can't use oil burning candles indoors because we have birds, but I will pass them on to someone who will love them. I would purchase from them again with better choice of the right product for my needs.

These refillable glass Tea lights are great. They are smaller than a plastic LED tea light. They fit into smaller candle holders. I recommend these.

Pretty and easy to use. I prefer paraffin oil bottle with spout for easy refilling as the little funnel is a pain to use if you use these frequently. Didn’t work with some other oils I tried - the wick would burn out - so sticking to paraffin oil for now

Nice and simple design, quality craftsmanship, works perfectly. I have no complaints and am extremely happy with the adjustability of flame size and the long burn-time.(I haven't had any issues as mentioned in some reviews with oil seeping out, not even when I slightly overfilled the light. As suggested in other reviews that was probably an issue with an older version of the product.)
