I use these along with my IKEA 6hr battery operated godafton candle and they definitely burn much longer than 6hrs. Just what I wanted. Long, clean burn.

Arrived just in time for my Orthodox Eastern (Russian) Christmas. The wax actually is so wonderful, I replaced my olive oil wick burner in the pictured vessel and the soy not only burns CLEAN but- It has an almost "ozone"-like smell. I have attached a photo of the shelf just above my stove where I have my icons. I am always in the kitchen and I can be in the presence of these revered icons most of my day and night. Let me tell you- the soy candle with the clear holder is superior to the oil method and I highly encourage others to use soy wax before reconsidering the oil/wick method.
Honest, I went to smell the burning candle and was blown away by the ozone I experienced. No soot, petroleum, diesel smell from that of regular tea lights, and no thick black icon destroying soot like the oil method. Beautiful The wick burns strangely slightly brighter than the soot covered cotton wick used with olive oil. Well worth the price too. I love these candles though this is only my 4th hour burning them (it).
I recommend you try these if you are worried about the pollution you introduce to your home with conventional candles!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific tea light.

These are, in a word, awesome! I bought these to replace cheap tea lights I had purchased. The tea lights come packaged in a box, in layers. The quality of the product is quite nice. They stay lit the entire time. I've burned through about 85 of the 100 candles I bought recently. I've been using them in votive holders placed around the back yard deck rails and it makes the back yard deck look so pretty. I've had as many as 20 of these going at once outside :) They've burned at least 7 hours, and often longer. What was also important to me is that they burn so cleanly that when I've had several going in candleholders indoors that there are no noxious fumes in the room (I have asthma so this was a problem in the past). My lungs don't inhale the noxious fumes of traditional candles. I'll only use soy from now on and these are super tealights. I'm ready to buy another box full.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow, clean burn

My candles were delivered in a bag. They were kind of a big mess, with wax all over them. I was really hoping they'd come in a box so they could be neatly stored.

So far I've burned two candles, they each burned for 8 hours, give or take about 30 minutes. No smoke. Nice slow, clean burn. They put themselves out and left hardly any wax behind.

I like the candles, I don't like they way they were packaged.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a candle that suits my needs!

I absolutely love these tea lights by Soyworx. I generally burn a tea light for only about a half hour each morning while having breakfast with my wife. Because soy wax has a relatively lower melting temperature than conventional paraffin, the whole surface area melts entirely in a short amount of time and consequently no pit forms around the wick after the flame is extinguished and the wax cools. Subsequently when I relight it the next morning, the flame does not get drowned out like it would with a conventional paraffin tea light. This allows me to use the same candle repeatedly day after day. Also when the tea light is finally consumed the clear plastic cup is virtually empty, devoid of any left over wax! Because soy wax burns a little cooler than conventional paraffin (producing a somewhat smaller flame and generating less heat) I wouldn't recommend their use in a diffuser for scented oils. But in a tea light holder or small votive glass they can't be beat in terms of a delicately attractive flame and a long burn time! I just recently put in my third order for these soy lights!
