paraffin candle
Petroleum-based illuminator
A paraffin candle is a candle made from paraffin wax, a petroleum-derived material that became the standard for candle-making in the mid-19th century.
Paraffin candles are inexpensive and burn cleanly, though some prefer beeswax or soy alternatives for environmental or health reasons.
