INTRODUCTION

Candles are derived from the Latin word "candera," which roughly translates to "to shine." Candles were the only source of artificial light prior to the development of electricity. The original candles were made of tallow, followed by beeswax and whale oil until paraffin, soy, and other vegetable-based waxes became popular in recent years. The candle is defined poetically in the 1738 Universal Lexicon as "a wick of threads coated with tallow or wax which, when lit, gives a dazzling glow which lightens a dark room (Knight,Levin & Mendenhall 2015).

Candles are a source of light with one or more wicks in the centre surrounded by a solid fuel. Both definitions distinguish candle from oil lamps, oil, or other flammable liquid in containers.

The burning of the wick is a critical function when it is at room temperature of 250C, in which solidification is ensured, and is employed mostly with waxes. A candle is sometimes referred to as a live light, and its flame is actually an open fire. 2004 (European Candle Makers Association).

Candles are employed as a light source and for their aesthetic appeal, both in terms of the sort of light they emit and their look as products. (Pictograms for Candles 2021).

Even though light bulbs have mostly supplanted candles as a source of illumination, the candle business is far from dead. Candles are still utilised in almost every major religion for a variety of rituals and special occasions. They may also be found on birthday cakes and are frequently utilised as house décor and to give a romantic atmosphere to dating evenings. Candles come in almost every colour, shape, size, and smell conceivable. Candle making is a popular skill in summer camps and art schools, but it is also possible to make candles at home with a few simple tools. Buyers can go the simple route and buy candles and candle making supplies online, or they can pick up supplies at most craft and hobby stores and many cheap department stores. According to Eggert, Bodker & Hanson (2016) candles were the sole means for thousands of years before the discovery of electricity for people to illuminate their houses and other locations when the sun went set. To produce the earliest candles, the Egyptians and Romans utilized tallow, a byproduct of rendered animal fat. Tallow was melted in a container put over an open flame. It was then poured over a crude wick, usually made of cotton, flax, or hemp. The early candles were used for religious purposes as well as to illuminate households. Candle manufacture progressed substantially in the Middle Ages, when candles were created from beeswax, but beeswax was scarce, making candles costly. Traditionally, beeswax candles were reserved for religious brotherhood and the rich.
