You might think this is a silly question! But really, there are a lot of people who call our office and want to know ~ what is a floating candle-and how can you use them?
So we are here to give you all the candle information you need that will help you make an informed decision when it comes to floating candles and how to use them.
A floating candle is a candle that when placed in water displaces more water by weight than the weight of the candle. So when it`s placed in water it floats!
However, not every candle can float! These candles are usually made in a round shape that allows it to float evenly where placed. Votive or Pillar candles would not be able to float even though they displace water because they are top heavy, so they would tip into the water. There are some tealight candles that can float, but the best choice is a traditional floating candle!
These candles usually come in a multitude of colors, are unscented, and are normally available in 2" and 3" diameter.
WHERE SHOULD YOU USE A FLOATING CANDLE?
A floating candle can go almost wherever there is water! Pools, vases, bowls, dishes, martini glasses, fountains, bathtubs, hot tubs and lakes. But they are not great for running water like rivers or streams. A very important bit of information about floating candles is to remember that the wick cannot get wet when placing in the water. If a 100% cotton wick takes on water, it will absorb that water. If this happens your burn time will be greatly impacted and you will be disappointed.
So when using floating candles, you should always gently place the candle into the water by holding onto the wick to ensure dryness prior to lighting. Floating candles have long burn times depending on the size you choose. The 2″ floating candles can burn up to 4-5 hours, and 3" can burn up to 8-10 hours! This gives you hours of beautiful glow atop your water.
Shenzhen LED industry situation is good, but it is not necessary to develop upstream
Going back to the government subsidies mentioned earlier in this article, in the report of the National Audit Office in 2014, it was pointed out that a number of LED companies fraudulently obtained government subsidies totaling tens of millions of yuan through false declarations. Some insiders also said that the government project will not be opened, and it can be eaten for three years. Recently, the Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee issued the “Notice on Launching the Application for Enterprise Research and Development Funding Plan†(hereinafter referred to as the “Noticeâ€), which stated that the R&D projects belonging to the “High-tech Fields Supported by the State†have been reviewed. According to the actual investment in research and development, a certain proportion of the after-sales support policy of up to 10 million yuan will be given. The LED lighting industry is in the high-tech field supported by the state, which means that some LED companies can also receive government financial support in this declaration. Shenzhen can be said to have concentrated the largest LED industry cluster in the country, and its quality, output and export volume of LED packaging, display and lighting products are among the highest in the country. According to the data, the total output value of LED industry in Guangdong Province reached 346.06 billion yuan in 2014, an increase of 23.09% year-on-year. The industrial scale ranked first in the country. The output value of Shenzhen LED is in the forefront of the country. The total industrial value has increased from 18 billion yuan in 2008 to 133.566 billion yuan in 2014, ranking first in the province, accounting for 38.60% of the province's total output value. LED production value far exceeds other areas in Guangdong. At present, Shenzhen is the largest LED packaging and LED display production base in China. With such advantages, Shenzhen has gained the reputation of China's LED industry to see Guangdong and Guangdong LED industry to see Shenzhen. Although the LED industry in Shenzhen is in a good situation, some professionals have pointed out that the LED enterprises in Shenzhen are generally small in scale, with less than 1,000 products with an output value of more than 50 million yuan, and some of the listed LED companies in Shenzhen have an annual turnover relative to other high-tech companies. There are also big differences between technology companies. In the case of favorable market development, some listed companies, such as Chau Ming Technology, Lehman Optoelectronics, Qinshang Optoelectronics, Wanrun Technology, Alto Technology, etc., have a good turnover in lighting. When the market environment is not good, the annual turnover of these listed companies is only 100 million. At the same time, most of the LED companies in Shenzhen are located in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain, and the added value of products is low. The reporter learned that the products and accessories of some small enterprises and small workshops have not been strictly controlled, and they have been sold after being assembled at random. They are catering to the needs of market consumers for low-cost lamps. In the long run, LED lighting products will be worse and worse, no innovation, no independent design, no quality assurance, all cottages, this can not guarantee the long-term development of enterprises. Can be seen in the LED lighting industry chaos. Going back to the government subsidies mentioned earlier in this article, in the report of the National Audit Office in 2014, it was pointed out that a number of LED companies fraudulently obtained government subsidies totaling tens of millions of yuan through false declarations. Some insiders also said that the government project will not be opened, and it can be eaten for three years. This also means how huge the government's subsidies are for LED companies, which has led some companies to pay too much attention and rely on government subsidies, but ignore the core products of the company. This has also led to the emergence of a company that specifically declares government subsidies for companies. The result of excessive emphasis on financial subsidies by enterprises is the disorderly competition of LED products. The inferior products are popular and vicious, which seriously affects the image of the high-tech LED industry and undermines the market environment. It is understood that the current domestic LED industry is not mature enough in all aspects of price system, product specifications, technical standards, industry norms and government policies. and. The core technology of LED in China is mainly in foreign countries. Once the core technology is blocked, it will surely encounter the disaster. If such a situation is encountered, the government's original goodwill and generous financial subsidies will become poisons that stifle the industry, causing a large amount of overcapacity and ultimately hindering technological development. In the past few years, representatives of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress suggested that government subsidies should support the research and development of LED companies, rather than support the promotion of LED products. Promote to the market, let the market choose, the market is the most choice. The NPC deputy said. In the "Notice" issued by the Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee, the government subsidy funds mentioned are also set up for enterprise research and development. As far as the Notice is concerned, the government is also trying to implement the red envelope. In addition, the government should also be cautious in the examination and approval process to prevent some enterprises from falsifying the application materials in the declaration process and defrauding government subsidies. For some LED companies, the attitude of the enterprise itself should be corrected. The government's subsidy is important. The core of enterprise development is still in the product. The LED industry itself belongs to the high-tech industry. Because of the late start, there is basically no technical accumulation. If the enterprise does not From the endogenous technology to continuous improvement, but crazy to give it hormones, then this enterprise will only be as weak as the flowers in the greenhouse. Therefore, for the technology industry such as LED, to overcome the various problems of the LED industry, it is necessary to advance one step at a time in product technology and application innovation. The country's emphasis on energy conservation and environmental protection can greatly promote the development of the entire industry. Therefore, for LED companies, this is a good era. As long as the products are fully implemented and returned to the products themselves, the company is not afraid of no long-term development!
