Northern Light Candle · Six tea light candles with coloured flames
The flames coming from the candles are too high and may ignite flammable material close to the candle. Moreover, the wicks have a long afterglow, possible causing fire if getting in contact with flammable material. Also, the candles produce high temperatures and may cause a candle holder to break, which could cause a fire. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 15493.
