- What candles fit inside these shades?
- They are sized for standard taper and candelabra candles, roughly 7/8 inch at the base. A candle holder or candlestick is needed underneath, since the shades have no base.
- Are these shades open at the top?
- Yes. They are open glass tubes, so air flows up past the flame. That keeps candles burning but gives less wind protection than a closed chimney.
- Can I use them outdoors?
- They help with light breezes on a sheltered porch or patio table. In strong wind, tall open glass can tip, so weight the holder or move them inside.
- Do they fit a standard candlestick?
- They sit over the candle, not the stick, so most candlesticks work. Check that the holder's cup is narrower than the glass so the shade rests steadily.
- How do I clean them?
- Wipe the inside with a soft cloth and mild soapy water after the glass cools. Avoid abrasive pads, which scratch clear glass and dull it.
