Burn times vary by style: common options run from about 3 hours up to around 10 hours. Many standard tealights are listed at about 8 hours, while dedicated long/mega tealights typically advertise around 9–10 hours.
Tealights are typically made from paraffin wax or sustainable palm wax. Wicks are usually lead-free and described as 100% cotton or non-cored construction.
Standard clear-cup tealights typically have diameters around 1.5 inches and heights roughly 0.71–1 inch. Oversized or "mega" tealights are wider (about 2.2 inches in diameter) and have similar short heights, often around 0.8–1 inch depending on the model.
Most listings specify lead-free, 100% cotton wicks; some options highlight a non-cored wick construction.
Many clear-cup tealights are sold in clear plastic cups, though packaging varies and at least one option is sold without a container.
Clean tealight cups or holders with a damp cloth or spot-wipe. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch — trim after extinguishing and cooling, and repeat every few hours of burn time as noted in listings.
Most clear-cup tealights are described for indoor use. A few listings note they can be used outdoors in sheltered or protected settings.
