UCO Micro Candle Lantern - First Lighting

First lighting of my, recently acquired, UCO Micro candle lantern.
This is my second Micro, and is a bit newer than my other one, judging by the label.
The lantern didn't come with any candles, so I fitted a standard (4Hr) tea light.

Try pulling the wick up next time. It was laying down on top of the tea light. I think you might get a better flame that way.

Yes, you are quite right.
I only noticed the wick issue, after I finished recording the video.

@@fp4man542 How long did the tealight last in the lantern? I have the traditional UCO lantern, but that micro lantern would be really great to have, especially sice tealights are cheap and you could just refill the cups and add new wicks! I want a few for the bathroom so I can have a bubblebath by lanters! lol

The Micro lanterns are quite hard to find now. People seem to ask for a lot of money for them, on the rare occasions when they appear on eBay.
Most tea lights seem to last about three to four hours. I've just bought a pack of eight hour tea lights, but haven't used one yet.

@@fp4man542 I wonder if a votive would fit?

Are votive candles the same diameter as tea lights? I hadn't considered that option, but it might be worth looking into.

Puill the wick up !

[@fp4man542]

You're quite right. I only noticed the wick after I'd made the recording.

I made a mold with silicone and it works great!

a mold for what?

[@buckshot4428]

Why would you make a mold for the candle? Last time I checked the candles were pretty cheap.@@TarotLadyLissa
