Prism Candle Sunray 6

Sunray Prism Candle — orange and citronella

This prism is 14 cm tall, 6.5 cm in diameter and weighs 0.46 kg; it is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend. Burn time 45–75 hours, cotton wick without a metal core, orange-yellow colour throughout the wax. Orange fragrance complemented by citronella. The candle carries the ray relief on all four sides.

What is the Sunray candle made of?

The body of the candle is a premium paraffin wax blend that melts evenly and cleanly reproduces both the colour and the sharp edges of the relief. The wick is cotton, without a metal core. The colour runs through the wax rather than being sprayed on the surface — as the candle burns, the shade stays the same right to the end.

How long does it burn?

45–75 hours. The range is so wide because it depends on the conditions: in a draught the flame dances and the wax disappears faster, while in a calm spot the candle lasts considerably longer. If you light it for two hours at a time, one piece gives you decoration for a whole season of evenings on the terrace.

The relief that plays with light

The Sunray candle is not just a geometric prism. Once lit, the light of the flame breaks on the relief of the side walls and, instead of going straight up, spreads across the wall and the surroundings. Unlit, the candle works as a solid decoration — matte wax surface, sharp edges, a clear motif. The ray relief is our own design and you will only find it with us.

What does the Sunray candle smell like?

It has a sweet citrus base of orange with the sharper, herbal note of citronella. It works best outdoors — on the terrace, in a garden house, on the garden table. Citronella is a traditional ingredient of outdoor candles, so the Sunray candle serves you well on summer evenings when you want something pretty and fragrant on the table. Indoors, citronella is more noticeable, so we recommend it for larger rooms or places that are easy to air.

Where the Sunray candle belongs

It works on its own and in a set. On a living-room table one piece is enough; on a festively laid table it looks best as a trio of different heights. In a minimalist interior it acts like a sculptural object, while in a classic one it complements textiles and wood.

For styling in a set, combine it with pillar candles or pyramid candles in the same colour range.

Who makes the Sunray candle?

SVITSOL has been making candles by hand for over 20 years — the brand was founded in 2004. Our workshop is on the farm in Královské Poříčí. Every piece is poured, trimmed and checked by a person, not a machine. Small differences in the relief or shade are a sign of handwork, not a defect. Depending on the product, we work with paraffin, beeswax and soy wax; the Sunray candle is made from a paraffin blend that ensures stable burning.

Who the Sunray candle will delight

It is a gift for someone who likes real things with a story — not mass-produced supermarket decorations. It suits a birthday, a thank-you for a hostess or a gift basket with a bottle of wine or a handmade soap. Also take a look at our complete candle collections, where you will find matching motifs in different shapes.

How to care for the candle

• Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting.
• Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Do not let it burn for more than 2–3 hours at a time.
• Protect it from draughts, which distort the flame and shorten the life of the candle.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
