How long does each tealight burn?

Mainstays states about 8 hours per candle. Real burn time runs shorter in drafts or if the wick is trimmed too short.

Are these really unscented?

Yes. The wax has no added fragrance, so they give light without scent.

Will they fit a standard tealight holder?

They are oversized, so they are wider than standard tealights. Check the cup diameter of your holder before buying.

Can I use them outdoors?

They are made for indoor and outdoor decorative use. Keep them out of wind, which shortens burn time and can cause smoking.

Six white oversized tealight candles.

Are they worth it over standard tealights?

If you want a longer burn and a bigger flame and your holders fit them, yes. If you need standard-size tealights or fragrance, choose another option.

Our take on the Mainstays White Unscented Oversized Tealight Candles, 6 Count

Mainstays oversized tealights are plain white, unscented candles sold six to a pack. Each is rated for about 8 hours of burn time, which is longer than standard tealights and enough to cover a dinner or an evening on the patio. They suit hosts, everyday decorators and anyone keeping candles on hand for power outages. The oversized format gives a bigger flame and a longer burn than standard tealights, but the unscented wax means no fragrance, so they compete on burn time and size rather than scent.
