These candles have a long burn time, which is great. They don't tend to burn down fully, which can be troublesome to clean out the votive holder for the next candle. Don't overbuy, though. I bought the 72 pack of white candles less then a year ago. I have about half the box left and they are no longer white. They have yellowed quite a bit. Bought white tealights at the same time and they are still white.
