Product Description
Candle by the Hour With hours of dreamy candlelight in your Candle by the Hour, you can set the amount of time it burns, hour by glowing hour. Simply feed the pliable beeswax coil through the candle clip in increments of 3 inches or less. Three inches of Candle will burn for approximately 1 hour. Set your nights alight with the Candle by the Hour. Candle by the hour is based on candle design of the 1600's but now has a patented clip which extinguishes the candle automatically when it burns down inside the clip. Made of 100% beeswax because you breathe what you burn. Unlike paraffin candles that are made from petroleum sludge, beeswax candles actually help clean the air. Beeswax produces negative ions when burned which helps remove the pollutions and allergens from positive ions, allowing them to drop harmlessly to the ground.

 Great looking candle! December 27, 2009

I wasn't sure how this candle worked, I just liked the look of it. Turns out the wax burns off clean and you just continually feed the rope through. It extinguishes itself when all the wax burns off from whatever length of rope you pull through thre clamp. It's pretty cool.

Really great if you tend to forget you have candles lit. It's got a cool design that always brings up questions from my guests.

What I love most is that you really can "time" how long you want this candle to burn. With pillar candles you have to keep checking to make sure the candle has melted to within 1/2" of the edge before blowing it out (if you want to keep using the candle all the way to the bottom, anyway.) Sometimes that doesn't happen before I want to go to bed! With these, you can pretty much guesstimate when you want it to go out on its own, and it doesn't shorten the life of the candle either way if you just blow it out.
It comes out to a couple of hours or so per inch, providing there is no breeze in the room where it's burning (moving air makes candles burn faster.)
Be careful when you straighten the coiled candle to make the inch (or two!) you want to stick up above the clamp. Bend it very slowly so it doesn't crack, or warm it up a little in your fingers first. The wax can be stiff and brittle in colder air.
What another reviewer said about cleaning the old dripped wax off the clamp before use is good advice, too. Excess wax is always a fire hazard - this applies to votive cups and regular taper holders, too. Wax of any kind is flammable stuff. Our ancestors knew to always clean up excess wax, but we have to be taught over again!
I read that in the old days this type of candle was used as a "Courting Candle." The parents would pull out and light an hour's worth of candle and leave it in the sitting room, leaving the young couple a little privacy along with the proviso that when the candle burned down, they would say goodnight and the young man would take his leave. This didn't stop the courting couple from extending another hour (or two!) worth of candle when the parents had left the room, though... ;)
 Looks great, but tricky to use July 27, 2008

First off, it looks great and is odorless..
I do have issues with how it's used however. For safety reasons, it's incredibly important to clamp the clasp around the candle properly. But beeswax is sticky and once it's burned down, a bit invariably sticks to the clasp itself when trying to raise the candle. This extra wax then makes the clamp not clasp tightly, allowing hot wax to leak down.
Also, the candle itself is very slim, so if you pull up 2 inches (for an hour of burning) then that will drip down and collect on the device. With older versions of this candle, the device had a sort of cup that caught this drip, and prevented it from dripping down and being wasted. That version was pulled due to a safety recall though, leaving us with this version. So.. In all practically, you will only be able to burn it 1/2 - 3/4 inch at a time as that's the most wax the clamp can hold without spilling over.
I still like the looks of it, but chances are I won't burn it very often.

I find this method of candle dispensing to be unique and effective, where the holder is coupled with a device that puts out the flame at a certain time whatever length you choose. Most people as would have a need for this style use it to read a favorite passage or phrase that is associated with a ritual of advanced critical thought,,or even a prayer.
