Description US made, Exotac brand emergency candle. Packaged in a screw lidded, reusable tin*. Premium Beeswax with 3 wicks; these survival candles will burn hotter and longer than the average candle. Wicks may be used singly or all together. Slow burning model, approximately 12 hours burn time. Approximate dimensions 7cm diameter, 2.3cm deep, weighs 71g Although primarily intended as a light source candles can be extremely useful in survival kits. A candle can be lit from a single match, burns longer and is more reliable than that match, making the candle a great aid in fire lighting. Candles can also emit a surprising 100 watts of heat each. Use as both light and heat source in improvised shelters, and under ‘space’ blankets. In Quinze snow shelters use a maximum of 2 per shelter, as too many candles will raise the temperate and melt the shelter. As with all fire lighting kit and naked flames please take care when using this item, particular care should be exercised in shelters. *the tin container will become hot after use, please take care when handling when lit or after use. Multiple views shown, single small candle in tin supplied, Swan Vesta match box for scale only, large size candle for comparison, neither of these items are included.
