Using Hurricane Candle Holders

These days we seem to having quite a few large intense storms which cause us to have power outages, so it would seem that a back up light source is not just for when you head off on a camping or fishing trip, but also for keeping your home well lit and safe during these power outages. Every home should have a flash light in it, but to light up the rest of your home you would need a shopping cart full of lights and batteries. If you are at home during a power cut and want to read a book or something you will need a more consistent source of light, for this you can’t beat a hurricane candle holder.

Many people know what a hurricane lamp is, but might not have heard of a hurricane candle holder. Usually a hurricane lamp runs off of oil and burns a large wick, this is sheltered inside of a large glass case which can be any color, shape and size you can imagine. Hurricane candle holders are pretty much the same, but instead of using oil as its fuel, it burns a candle, the glass case around the candle is there to stop the wind or a draft from blowing the flame out.

The chimney surrounding the candle holder is made of glass, as we mentioned above, this can come in clear glass, frosted glass, or any color you can think of. You can also get these made from stained glass or from a material like ceramic. The shape of the glass case can vary quite a bit from the normal pear shape, to tubular or square shapes as well as many more. The bases for these candle holders are usually made from brass, but you can find them in almost any material you want, from woods to plastics. The shape and size of the candle you use will determine the shape of the candle holders base. If the candle you are using is either very tall or has a large bottom, then you will need a base that is quite wide.
