Candles set a peaceful and intimate mood. They give a certain aura to the room. Candles can be used in the bedroom, bathroom, lounge room, restaurant, with scents. A candle is an ignitable wick embedded in wax or another flammable solid substance such as tallow that provides light, and in some cases, a fragrance. It can also be used to provide heat, or used as a method of keeping time. A candle manufacturer is traditionally known as a chandler. For a candle to burn, a heat source commonly a naked flame is used to light the candle`s wick, which melts and vaporizes a small amount of fuel the wax. Once vaporized, the fuel combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to ignite and form a constant flame. This flame provides sufficient heat to keep the candle burning via a self-sustaining chain of events: the heat of the flame melts the top of the mass of solid fuel; the liquefied fuel then moves upward through the wick via capillary action; the liquefied fuel finally vaporizes to burn within the candle`s flame.
