- What candles fit inside these shades?
- They are 10 inches tall, so they suit pillar candles and taper candles on a holder that sit well below the open top. Check the shade's diameter against your candle or holder so the glass sits around it, not on the flame.
- Do these shades have a bottom?
- No. Both ends are open, so the shade is a sleeve that sits over a candle and holder. That open design lets air in and makes it easy to lift off.
- Can I use them outdoors?
- They help with light breezes on a sheltered porch or patio table, but the open top and bottom let gusts in. For exposed outdoor use, a closed hurricane lantern protects the flame better.
- How do I clean ribbed glass shades?
- Wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild soap, then dry to avoid water spots in the grooves. Soot from a candle wick should be cleaned off promptly.
- Are they safe to leave burning unattended?
- No candle should be left burning unattended. Place the shades on a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts, curtains and anything flammable.
