Candle's General Info  

Candle is consisting of a solid block of fuel and an embedded wick, function as a light source or heat source, or just for decoration.
Before the mid-19th century, most candles were made from tallow (a byproduct of beef-fat rendering).
Nowadays, candles are usually made from wax. The most common is paraffin wax, beside the other candle  material sources such as soya, bee-wax, and gel.
Traditionally, a chandler is known as candle manufacturer. Many other devices such as simple candle holders from metal or wood, elaborate chandeliers, etc have been invented to hold candles.

The heat of the match used to light the candle melts and vaporizes a small amount of fuel. Once vaporized, flame is formed from combination of the fuel and oxygen in the atmosphere.Sufficient heat provided from this flame will 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 liquified fuel then moves upward through the wick via capillary action, and the liquified fuel is then vaporized to burn within the candle's flame.

The burning of the fuel takes place in several distinct regions (as evidenced by the various colors that can be seen within the candle's flame). Within the bluer regions, hydrogen is being separated from the fuel and burned to form water vapor. The brighter, yellower part of the flame is the remaining carbon being  oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

As the mass of solid fuel is melted and consumed, the candle grows shorter. Portions of the wick that are not evaporating the liquid fuel are consumed in the flame, limiting the exposed length of the wick and keeping the temperature and rate of fuel consumption even. Some wicks require manual trimming with scissors or a wick trimmer for even burning.

Candles are principally sold in three types of retail outlets:
o    specialty or gift shops;
o    department and home décor stores;
o   mass merchandisers (discount stores, drug store chains, grocery stores, etc.)

Approximately 35% of candle sales occur during the Christmas/Holiday season. Non-seasonal business accounts for approximately 65% of candle sales.
Candles generally can be categorized into 11 basic types: tapers, votives, pillars, container (or jar) candles, tealights, liturgical candles, outdoor candles, floating candles, novelty candles, utility candles, and birthday candles.
