Sigro 50 Pieces Pyramid Candles, 14 x 74 mm, Wax, Red, One Size

I always loved these German pyramids, but never owned one until I happened to come upon one in a local deep discount shop that specializes in unique global products. I talked them down to a substantial reduction of the already reduced discounted price since two of the candle cups were not attached to the arms. It turned out to be a genuine Richard Glaesser pyramid carousel imported from Germany, and all it took at home was a little glue to reattach the candle cups. Then came the search for authentic candles made for a pyramid. Since there were none that came with the pyramid, I had to make some careful measurements of the diameter of the candle cup. Then I searched Amazon and found these candles. This turned out to be the perfect candle for my pyramid. My pyramid uses six candles, and I observed that with that much heat, the pyramid spins like the figures are running a race! I started to reduce the number of candles to see what the fewest number were that would generate enough heat to spin the pyramid slowly. Turns out, it only takes two candles on the lowest level to achieve a gentle spin. That means that the box of 18 large candles will last much longer. The honey color is warm and lovely and, for me, the candles burn cleanly with barely any wax left in the bottom of the candle cup. I haven't timed how long they last, but even if it is only a few hours, it is plenty long for me to enjoy the glow of the candles and the movement of the pyramid while I sit by the fireplace in my living room and knit or spin yarn. The video of my pyramid carousel was taken an hour after I had lit the candles. Since the air was warmer than when I first lit the two candles, the carousel is moving just bit faster than when it first started. For my preferences, it's worth the price to have authentic German candles designed for my pyramid carousel. It adds to the beauty and the pleasure of the experience. (However, if my daughter travels to Europe next year to visit her friend in Germany, I will give her the empty box and certainly have her look for them there.)

Arrivate puntualissime ma questa volta l'imballo Amazon non era adeguato all'articolo, infatti le candele sono arrivate fuori dalla loro scatola e libere nell'imballo. Non ne sono state perse nessuna ma tutte si sono ammaccate e quindi brutte da presentarsi. Le utilizzerò ugualmente ma … peccato!

Fit my Christmas ornament perfectly

Perfecto para una pirámide de navidad

Perfect for my Christmas pyramid music box. A bit expensive but good quality candles.
