Using LUMA
Wondering which containers work best with Luma Pearled Candles? Heat Resistent containers are ideal, but other containers can be used safely if theyâre large enough. To ensure safety, the melt pool should stay away from the container edges, and the container must not overheat during burning. A minimum width of 10 cm at the narrowest point is generally recommendedâtest carefully to confirm.
For optimal performance, ensure at least 5 cm of candle pearls surround each wick (use one wick in a 10 cm width container) and leave at least 2.5 cm between the wickâs base and the container bottom.
The burn time of Luma Pearled Candles depends on how you use themâwhether you relight the same wick, use multiple wicks, or refresh the candle frequently. Factors like burn duration and wick arrangement all influence how long your candle lasts.
On average, our pearls burn slower than traditional candles, with an 500 gr Luma Candle providing up to 120 hours of burn time. Each wick lasts approximately 12 hours.

Each Luma wick burns for approximately 12 hours.
No, our wicks are actually safer than traditional candles because theyâre not attached to the bottom of the jar. When the wick burns low, it falls into the melt pool and self-extinguishes. While we donât recommend leaving your Luma candle unattended, the flame will go out after about 12 hours. Following our instructions to leave at least an inch between the wick and the container bottom ensures the heat never reaches the container.
The inclusion of our wick boxes:
- Small Box of 6 cm includes 30 wicks
- Medium box of 10 cm includes 15 wicks
- Large wick pack of 15 cm includes 10 wicks
- Nope, you can relight the same wick multiple times and burn it as long as it lasts. Each Luma cotton wick can burn around 12 hours. That said, we give you plenty of wicks with every pearled candle so you could refresh your candle as often as you'd like to make it look new again.
- You can also cut the wick and re-use the part that hasn't been used yet, or flip the wick to bury the melt pool for zero waste while still making your candle look brand new. Keep in mind cutting the wick will shorten the burn time.
The most common reason why the wick is not burning for the full 12 hours is if the wick tip is left too far out of the pearls. When inserting the wick, aim to have only about a quarter-inch tip sticking out, just enough to light it. Leaving the wick our further will shorten the burn time.
