Candle, A candle is a solid block of wax (fuel) and an embedded wick, which is lit to provide light and heat. The wax, which is use in candle has several type Like, paraffin, beeswax, soy , waxes, Tallow and Gel ETC.

      Candles are made in different type of MOLDS to get the different shapes of candles.

Usually, Candles are of white or off-white color, but it can be made of different colors Like, Red, Blue, and Green ETC. by only mixing simply those colors.

When the first time candle was made?
The earliest known candles made in China around 200 BC, and were made from whale fat. Candles did not appear in Europe until sometime after 400 AD, due to the availability of olive oil for burning in lamps. The early European candle was made from various forms of natural fat, tallow, and wax. In the 18th century, spermaceti, oil produced by the sperm whale, was used to produce a superior candle. Late in the 18th century, colza oil and rapeseed oil came into use as much cheaper substitutes. Paraffin was first distilled in 1830, and revolutionized candle-making, as it was an inexpensive material which produced a high-quality, odorless candle that burned reasonably cleanly. The industry was devastated soon after, however, by the distillation of kerosene (confusingly also called paraffin oil or just paraffin). Recently resin based candles that are freestanding and transparent have been developed, with the claim that they burn longer than traditional paraffin candles. They are usually scented and oil based.
