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 candle similar to a tealight except that it is larger (usually 10 cm (4 in) wide) and lit outside.

Outdoor candles are commonly found in Scandinavia,[4] and are used as an outdoor decoration in private gardens, graves or on the side of roads or paths.

They are made from paraffin in a metal cup with a one cm (0.39 in)-thick wick, which heats up to 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).

Due to this heat, and the fact that they are designed to be weatherproof, they have to be properly snuffed out with a snuffer.
