Les Veilleuses Françaises "Bees" - The Herbalist's Boxes

Description:

A very economical alternative to the classic candle, it gives light creates a warm atmosphere and is also used for prayer or meditation

Use:

Choose a flared container, preferably glass, in which the float can move freely (see our photophores).

Pour vegetable oil into the container (peanut oil, sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, etc.). Do not use used or rancid oil. Be aware that the oil candle consumes about 1 deciliter of oil in 24 hours of operation.

To make the float easier to handle, straighten the tab vertically, insert the wick, making sure that the metal end, which protrudes from the wick crimp, is against the float. Place the float with the wick on the oil.

Wait a few moments until the wick is well soaked with oil (you can also pour a few drops of oil on the wick), then light it, avoiding touching the float with the flame of the match to avoid unbalancing it. The wick can now burn for at least 24 hours...

To extinguish a burning wick, simply blow on it.

If you wish to relight a wick that has already burned, clean it first by removing the black charred residue that forms on the wick and dry the float before relighting.

If you are using a large or deep container, you can fill it with water beforehand to avoid having to put in too much oil. The oil loses its properties quickly once it comes into contact with light, which reduces the life of the oil candle.

The water also acts as an alarm: as soon as it comes into contact with the wick, it starts to crackle, alerting the user to the need to refill the oil.

The pilot lights are perfectly safe. In the event of an accidental spill, they go out for lack of fuel. There is no risk of the oil catching fire.
