12 Tea Lights and 1 Tin Plate Dish

These tea lights come from a Franconia candle factory. They are a bit higher than is customary and are poured from melted paraffin (not sprayed into a mould with liquefied paraffin granulate). That ensures a longer burning time and a much cleaner combustion behaviour. In addition to the tea lights, the package contains a stable tin plate dish which can be refilled with a candle after one has burned down.

Glafey in Nuremberg is a proven expert in the field of lights (that is, container-framed candles with wick holders). Thanks to operating experience dating back to 1808, these are functionally well-engineered: they burn with low soot, are odorless, and develop precisely the optimum amount of light with a long burning time. The wick and wick wax are also precisely matched to these requirements.

In production, care has always been taken to use raw materials efficiently and sparingly. For example, in the tea lights produced unchanged for decades, whose 12-pack gets along with only one tinplate cup, which can be filled again and again - the refill pack is supplied without a cup at all. Or with the cork floats and wicks produced since 1867 (and only available separately from us), which with minimal use of materials and "on-board resources" (glass vessel and vegetable oil) become full-fledged oil lights in the self-construction.

Glafey also relies on plastic-free outer packaging made of cardboard and glassine. And the sustainability concept also continues into production. Thus, Glafey obtains heat from a combined heat and power plant and electricity from 3,000 square meters of solar panels on its own company roof - making one of the oldest light sources is produced under the most modern conditions.
