When the Power Goes Out, You Don’t Have to Sit in the Dark
The Ready Hour 100-Hour Candle has provided American families light in just about every condition imaginable with millions of candles sold and used:
- Through extended power outages
- In the middle of massive hurricanes
- Deep in the backcountry
You name it, this candle has been there, shedding light and helping keep people safe. It’s your no-fuss, no-mess backup when the lights go out and the batteries run dry.
Each candle burns up to 100 hours—clean, odorless, smokeless—and with 12 of them in one pack, you’ve got a grand total of 1,200 hours of reliable, crisis-ready light.
That’s nearly 2-months of safe, reliable, emergency light (and warmth) at your fingertips!
Plus, we've updated our candle design to add an extra layer of safety for your family, especially those curious little ones. With a new child-safe cap, the kiddos won't be playing with fire!
Ideal for Outages, Blackouts, Camping & Everyday Backup
This isn’t just for doomsday. Whether it’s a snowstorm, a summer brownout, or an off-grid camping trip, these candles belong in your kit. They’re compact, stable, and virtually maintenance-free—great for stashing in emergency bins, vehicles, RVs, or your go-bag.
Why You’ll Be Glad You Bought These: Sanity After Sundown
When the lights go out, everything gets harder—and a little more stressful. With these candles, you're not fumbling around or draining your phone battery to see.
You’ve got soft, steady light and warmth you can count on—night after night. It’s the kind of small detail that makes a big difference when things get weird.
What Makes These Candles Different
Each Ready Hour candle uses an advanced fuel called Tetradecane – a proprietary blend of paraffin and other clean-burning liquids that won’t break down over time.
They’re housed in sturdy, shatter-resistant plastic containers with resealable caps—lightweight, stackable, and ready for action. And unlike traditional candles, there’s no snake and no messy wax dripping everywhere.

Susan O.03/25/2025Purchased the 6 pack after a storm that flickered electricity for a couple of hours. Son lost power for almost 5 hours same day. Candles arrived faster than expected, packed well. We tried one out. No smell, easy to use, wick can be adjusted, cap goes back on easily. Gave my son one to try. Both of us are happy with this product and feel prepared for the next storm. Not sure why I didn't order sooner, definitely a great value and price.
Carrie J.03/22/2025My overall experience was great! The employees received my order and sent it right out! My candles have already been a blessing. I was stranded in Southern Utah at night, and used my candles. They helped immensely!!
Judy L.02/28/2025I am so pleased with this product. Once I showed my sibling the power and longevity of this product, she urged me to give her one from my supply.
Cynthia N.02/28/2025I think this is the best candle to have around the house and in my car I shared a couple with my daughter. We live in the south and prepare for tornado season!
S. Letsen02/08/2025My powers been out for three days and I’m so grateful for the ready hour candles that I had in stock! And flashlights and the solar cell phone charger!! All of it sure came in handy!!
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How long does each candle last?
Each candle burns for up to 100 hours with proper use (keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch).
What kind of fuel is used?
The candles use a proprietary paraffin-based liquid fuel (Tetradecane) that burns cleanly with no smoke and won’t degrade over time.
Do the candles smell or give off fumes?
No—unlike many cheap candles, these are formulated to be completely odorless and low-emission.
What’s the light output?
Each candle gives off approximately 7 lumens—plenty for reading, navigating, and maintaining a sense of normalcy in the dark.
Are the containers reusable?
The containers are re-sealable and stable, but not intended for reuse after the fuel is burned.
How should I store them?
Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat. Just reseal the cap tightly after each use to prevent evaporation.
