3-Wick 36-Hour Emergency Candle for Power Outages and Survival
When the power goes out, dependable light becomes a top priority. This 3-wick emergency candle delivers up to 36 hours of steady illumination from a single compact unit. Each of the three wicks burns independently for approximately 12 hours, so you can light one wick for conservation or all three for maximum brightness.
At just 7 ounces with a 2-3/4 inch diameter, this emergency candle fits neatly into survival kits, kitchen drawers, vehicle glove boxes, and bug-out bags. The soy wax surface burns cleanly with minimal soot, and the low-profile tin prevents tipping. Stock several for extended blackouts, winter storms, or off-grid camping.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I use the three wicks?
Light a single wick for low-level ambient light that conserves fuel. Light two or three wicks when you need brighter illumination for reading, cooking, or moving around a room. Burning one wick at a time maximizes the total 36-hour burn duration.
Is the candle safe to use indoors?
Yes, but always follow basic candle safety. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials, curtains, and paper. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
How many emergency candles should I stock?
For a household emergency kit, plan for at least one candle per room you would use during a power outage. A three-day preparedness plan for one household typically calls for two to four candles. At wholesale pricing, stocking extra candles is an inexpensive insurance policy.
Can I use this candle for heating?
A single candle provides modest radiant heat suitable for warming hands or slightly raising the temperature in a very small enclosed space. It is not a replacement for a proper heater, but in an emergency it provides meaningful comfort alongside its primary purpose of illumination.
