Buying grave candles gives you the choice between simple and electrically operated models. The simple, classic candle is made of paraffin or beeswax, with candles made of beeswax in the production of more elaborate than those made of paraffin and therefore a little more expensive. In order to protect them from the wind and weather and the premature extinction, they are usually placed in red glass cases. Meanwhile, these grave candles including container are also offered in many other colors such. white, orange or beige. Despite everything, the color red is still the most popular in the field of grave candles. The gentle light of these classic grave candles is perceived as particularly pleasant. Instead of normal candles, wax tealights are sometimes used. However, grave candles made of wax only have a relatively short burning time of only a few hours, so that they have to be renewed at certain intervals. In addition, they need a location where they can easily fall over without causing a fire.

In recent years, the trend is increasingly towards the solar or battery powered electric grave candle. Visually, it is hardly distinguishable from real wax candles and is also available in a housing made of glass or plastic. However, it has the great advantage that it is less sensitive to weather conditions and rarely needs to be replaced or maintained. What is often perceived as a disadvantage is the light of electric grave candles. Compared to real wax candles, it is not as pleasant and rather cold.

The prices for grave candles differ, depending on whether they are natural or artificial models. Since LED and solar powered usually have a longer life, they are usually more expensive. In addition, different adjustment options such as the regulation of the light intensity affect the price. While battery-powered candles and protective glass are already available for 5-10 euros, high-quality LED grave candles can cost as much as 50 euros and more and solar-powered between 25 and 40 euros. Although all these candles are also cheaper, but if you are looking for longevity and quality, you may need to dig a little deeper into your pocket.

Especially when buying solar and LED grave candles there is a lot to consider. For example, bolted housings, which are cast in one piece, are preferable in the event that something needs to be repaired. In addition, good seam processing is important to prevent moisture from entering the electronics. Plastic housings should be UV and temperature resistant as well as waterproof and shockproof. Not to forget the bulb, which should have the highest possible luminosity. If the electric grave candle is to be outside all year round, all electronic components as well as the luminaire itself must be protected against moisture. High quality should be the solar cells. As far as current efficiency is concerned, monocrystalline solar cells are recommended, which pay off especially in a shady spot or when the sky is often overcast. When the battery is high-capacity, and if possible, an environmentally friendly option should be respected, such. a nickel-metal hydride battery.
