Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Feathers Inn, a cosy pub nestled in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, was tired of their small tea lights burning out halfway through the evening service, which looked unprofessional and required constant staff attention.
"We just wanted something reliable that looked the part. These pillar candles last for several nights, and the gentle light is exactly what our customers love. It's one less thing for us to worry about during a busy shift."
David Chen – Owner, The Feathers Inn
By switching to these Bolsius candles, the pub reduced its candle replacement tasks by over 90% during service hours, freeing up staff to focus entirely on customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface or in a suitable candle holder.
- Keep away from drafts from open windows or air conditioning to ensure an even burn.
- For the best flame, trim the wick to approximately 1cm before lighting it for the first time.
- Ensure candles are placed at least 10cm apart from each other to prevent uneven melting.
Keeping It Going
- Never, ever leave a burning candle unattended in any circumstances.
- Keep the pool of melted wax free from any debris like wick trimmings or used matches.
- Extinguish the flame gently with a candle snuffer to prevent hot wax from splashing.
- Store your spare candles in a cool, dark place to prevent the ivory colour from fading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these candles scented?
A: No, these are unscented, making them ideal for dining environments where you don't want to interfere with the aroma of food.
Q: What is the exact burn time?
A: Each candle provides up to 39 hours of burn time under ideal conditions, meaning away from strong drafts.
Q: Can I use these outdoors?
A: They can be used outdoors in calm conditions, but a breeze will significantly reduce burn time and may cause uneven burning. A lantern is recommended.
Q: Do they drip much?
A: These are made from high-quality wax designed for minimal dripping, especially when kept out of drafts and on a level surface.
Q: How many candles are in a pack?
A: This product is sold as a box of 12 individual pillar candles.
Q: What are they made of?
A: They are made from a high-quality, refined paraffin wax blend for a clean, consistent burn.
Q: What colour are they exactly?
A: They are a classic ivory, which is a soft off-white or cream colour that complements most tableware and décor schemes.
Q: Do I need a special holder for them?
A: Their flat base allows them to stand alone on a heat-proof surface, but using a pillar candle holder is always recommended for extra stability and to protect surfaces.
The Bolsius Commitment: More Than Just Light
For over 150 years, Bolsius has been a name synonymous with quality candlelight across Europe. When you choose a Bolsius candle, you're not just buying wax and a wick; you're investing in decades of expertise in creating the perfect, reliable flame for professional environments. Their commitment goes beyond simple illumination. It’s about crafting a consistent product that hospitality pros can depend on night after night. These Ivory Tall Candles are a prime example: the wax is refined for a clean, low-smoke burn, the wicks are designed for easy re-lighting, and the burn time is tested for maximum efficiency. This translates to real-world business value—less waste, lower replacement frequency, and a consistently premium atmosphere that makes guests feel welcome and valued from the moment they arrive.
Explore more from BolsiusMore Than Just a Flame: Why Low-Smoke Wax Matters
Ever walked into a room and noticed that slightly hazy, acrid smell from cheap candles? That's often caused by impurities in the wax burning off. Bolsius uses a highly refined wax blend specifically designed to burn cleanly, which is what we mean by 'low-smoke'.
Think of it like the difference between a smoky old charcoal barbecue and a clean-burning gas grill. One fills the air with soot and fumes, while the other just provides the clean heat and light you actually want. These candles ensure the only things your guests notice are the wonderful atmosphere you've created and the delicious aroma of their food.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Bistros: Essential for creating an intimate dining atmosphere on every table without constant maintenance during service.
- Pubs & Bars: Ideal for adding a cosy, traditional glow to window sills, mantelpieces, and quiet corners.
- Hotels & Spas: Use them in reception areas, lounges, or treatment rooms to create a serene and welcoming first impression.
- Wedding & Event Venues: A cost-effective must-have for bulk table decorations and crafting magical, memorable lighting for any celebration.
