Dinner candles 180 × Ø 28 mm – solid colour, 8.5 h burn time

Your guests are on their way, the table is laid – and as the first dinner candles are lit, your dining room becomes a place where everyone is happy to linger. These dinner candles, 180 mm tall and 28 mm in diameter, are just made for your festive table: coloured all the way through, odourless and with a calm, bright flame. That way the aroma of your food stays centre stage – and the light sets the mood.

What changes for you

• Your table instantly looks more festive without lots of decorating – a few dinner candles in candle holders are all it takes to fill the room with warm, calm light.
• You can enjoy the candlelight without any unpleasant smells – because the highly refined wax burns odourlessly, the aroma of coffee, cake or dinner stays just as it should be.
• You needn't worry so much about soot marks on walls or lampshades – the candles burn low-soot and leave no residue.
• You can plan your evening at leisure – with a burn time of around 8.5 hours, one candle lasts from the starter until well after dessert.
• Your candles keep their lovely colour right to the end – because they're solid-coloured, the colour runs through the whole candle rather than just a thin outer layer.

Why these dinner candles make a difference every day

A calmly burning candle noticeably changes the atmosphere of a room: conversations grow quieter, eyes stay on the table and the evening slows down. Because the flame burns brightly and evenly, there's no restless flickering – the light feels steady and warm. An ordinary dinner turns into a little occasion, and an Advent wreath with dinner candles becomes a faithful companion throughout December.

• 100 % cotton wick – for an even, calm burn without spitting or crackling.
• Solid-coloured wax – the colour stays as the candle burns down, and scratches or small dents are barely noticeable.

How to use the dinner candles

• During Advent: four candles on an Advent wreath with dinner candles – one more light each week, giving the run-up to Christmas its own rhythm.
• As colourful dinner candles for birthdays or garden parties: combine colours to match your table decorations, and your table looks lovingly prepared with very little effort.
• In white or ivory as altar candles in a candelabra: in a church, chapel or prayer room, the long burn time and calm burn create a dignified, peaceful light.
• In restaurants and cafés: a light on every table that burns odourlessly – your guests smell the food, not the candle, and the room feels welcoming and well kept.
• In a lantern or arrangement: the dinner candle adds height to your decoration and creates a calm focal point on a sideboard or windowsill.

Good to know about solid-coloured candles

With solid-coloured candles, the wax is coloured all the way through. Dipped candles are different: they only have a coloured outer layer. For you, this means the colour stays the same as the candle burns, right down to the last bit. Even after weeks on the Advent wreath or in a candle holder, the candle shows the same colour as on the first day.

Options & what's included

• Available in various colours – from classic white and ivory to bold shades.
• Choose any quantity – from a single replacement to a stock for Advent, a celebration or your dining room.
• Candle holders, candelabras and decorations shown in the product images are not included.
