  • Double or triple wick candles.

    Posted by Joel Arvidsson on February 3, 2017 at 8:10 am

    I need to maximize the light output from practicle light for a scene. Therfore I want to use double or triple wick candles.
    Im thinking I could have a local candle maker do them, but I have not found any good images of thoose kind of candles.

    Therefore I wonder if the wick is twinned or if they are three wicks that sits very close to each other. I would think they are twinned/twisted together but best image I found looked like its the wick were just two wicks close together.

    Do you have any images of this kind candles?

    Why not just buy them already made for cinema use?

    Have to admit I was wondering the same thing…. wasn’t sure of a source though, was going to check FilmTools if I was in that boat.
