How long does a tea light candle burn?

Written By Ryan Law

A standard tea light candle typically burns for around 4-6 hours, depending on the brand and conditions it's used in.

The actual burning time can vary slightly due to factors like air circulation, temperature, and wax quality. However, as a general rule, you can expect a good-quality tea light to last up to 6 hours.

Keep in mind that this is just an estimate, and the actual burn time may differ depending on your specific situation.
