OHR CANDLES Shabbat Candles, Traditional Shabbos Candles, 3 Hour, 72 Count (Pack of 2) (144 Count)

Great value, fast shipping

Exelent

I bought these 9.7 cm x 1.7 cm white Shabbos candles to power an old German Pyramid and they work well for that purpose (1). BUT, with the original long, loose, floppy wick on top, some candles melted wax on the side of the candle and then had a much larger flame on the side, which I found unacceptable. So I would advise you to trim the top of the wick down to 1/3” or .7 cm to avoid that problem (2). When lighting the candle after installation on one of the Pyramid's candle mounts , you should hold the match or lighter on the thin white neck of the candle to melt wax to feed the initial small flame. As the candles melt down to their base, the floppy wick will ultimately fall over into a pool of wax and go out (3). If you want to avoid wasting that remaining wax, quickly remove the candle holder and pull the remaining wick from the pool of wax (4).. Then quickly replace the wick with a stiffer, waxed wick inside a metal sustainer tab inserted into the pool of wax (5) to form a new candle to burn off the remaining wax(7).. (I use Cozyours wick and sustainer tabs to do this.) Using a stopwatch, I timed the burn times of 5 of these candles over several days of use in our Pyramid (6), and the total burn times were 2 hrs+ 51 minutes, 2 hours + 57 minutes, 3 hours + 8 minutes, 3 hours + 25 minutes, and 3 hours + 28 minutes, for an average of 3 hours and 9 minutes. I found that Any tilt in the candle holder seems to cause excess wax melting and cause a shorter burn time. To help relighting these candles after a shorter burn time (30-60 minutes), you can try putting a small "crumb" of candle wax besides the wick before you relight the candle. This helps the candle relight successfully after each use. Cheers!

2022 purchase. white. burns clean. no scent. provides light, just like a candle should. a candle a day keeps the evil way. great for americans living in germany to you make like anne frank and hide in the attic.

Bright candles, no scent! They do drip. But we place our Shabbat candles over a napkin and the wax is no big deal to clean up.

If you are Jewish this is a great buy for Shabbat.

Several years ago, I worked in a Jewish-owned grocery store and they sold these. Then I moved across the country where the grocery store chain isn't located. I was thrilled when I found these online this year, and bought several boxes of them. I use them when reading at night. The dim light makes me sleepy but my ADHD brain demands reading before sleeping. When the air in the bedroom isn't moving, these burn for three hours, no dripping, no issues. Timed it for ever box of candles. Because the boxes smell funky, I remove the candles and place them in a different box. The candles have no odor, but the cardboard box they're stored in often smells unpleasant. Trimming the wicks isn't an issue, seeing as the wick of any candle should never be longer than 1/4 inch. Because these are thinner than standard taper candles, I melt the bottom before placing them in the candle holders I use. This keeps them upright and firmly in place. If using particularly wide candle holders, I'll put a little sand in them and sort of bury the bottom half inch in the sand. These are fantastic candles, especially for the price.

Exactly as advertised

The standard candles for your Shabbat. Great quality, great value and they last a while (both in terms of hours per burn and how long you’ll get out of them). Never had a dud, they’re very well packed and are our go-to for Friday nights. Would recommend

We have obtained these Ohr 3-hour candles from bricks-and-mortar stores before and the light and burn cleanly, perhaps not for the full 3 hours but close enough. They are ceremonial candles, used in the Jewish tradition to mark Shabbat, not to light a space for a length of time. After moving away from places that have a high Jewish population and the imposition of travel bans associated with COVID-19, we were forced to use the more expensive and energy inefficient means of direct importation via Amazon to obtain them.

Already the 4th time! Super pleased !
