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 is lit outside. Outdoor candles 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 are made from paraffin in a metal cup with a centimetre-thick wick, which heats up to 1000 °C. Due to this heat, and the fact that they are designed to be weatherproof, they have to be properly snuffed out with a snuffer.
