Outdoor candle

An outdoor candle,[1] which is also known a pitch torch or a garden candle[2] (Swedish: marschall, Danish: haveblus,[3] Finnish: soihtukynttilä) is a large (usually 10 cm wide) tealight-like candle that are lit outside. They are commonly found in Scandinavia,[4] and are used as an outdoor decoration in private gardens, graves or at the side of roads or paths. They made from paraffin in a metal cup with thick centimetre wick, which heats up to 1000 Â°C. Due to this heat, and the fact they are designed to be weatherproof, they have to be properly stuffed out with a snuffer.
