These candles are not dripless in the least. I've never bought a candle so bad.
They are designed to be used with the Menorah. br>To light in accordance with custom and tradition.
It is dependent on the candle holder's size.
A standard-sized menorah candle, in my opinion. The length is three and a half inches. Both of my menorahs were able to accommodate them.

I bought these candles on the spur of the moment because I was short on time and needed candles right away. They came in a package that looked similar to others I've purchased in the past, and if I could, I'd give them a zero. They burned down in under ten minutes, which I can live with, but they did so with a lot of dripping and made a huge mess. I'm glad I put the Menorah on a board because I would have ruined a tablecloth if I hadn't. Don't buy these next time you're looking for Menorah candles!.
I'm not happy at all. When I opened the five boxes, I was dismayed to find that they were all white, despite the fact that the description stated that they would be colorful. The box depicts white and blue candles, but I now have 220 white Hanukkah candles.
These Hanukkah candles appealed to me because they reminded me of the traditional, multi-colored Hanukkah candles. When I was a kid, my parents would buy us colored candles. They're inexpensive, but that's about all they have going for them. The colors were muted and drab, rather than the bright primary colors I had hoped for. They had long wicks that burned out several times while attempting to light them and dripped profusely. They are not something I will purchase again.
I'm not sure where to begin. br>1. I bought the five paks of 44 candles each, which I'm glad I did because I wouldn't have had enough candles for the eight days of Hanukkah if I hadn't.
2. It was difficult to get them going.
3. They burned in a very uneven manner.
4. They burn extremely hot, much hotter than any other Hanukkah candles I've ever had.
5. Because they were burning sideways, many people began to fall over.
6. Many drops of wax fell from their mouths as they dripped it.
7. From one night to the next, it's nearly impossible to get out of the menorah.
8. Because of the inconsistencies in the burn pattern and the placement of the wick, this is a very dangerous situation. br>br>Avoid purchasing, particularly if children will be using them.
Candles in red, dark purple, and three lighter colors are shown on the product package, both on Amazon and what arrived: Yellow, light orange, and almost lime green are the colors used in this design. Neither box had any of the last three. Instead, there are some that are a dark, dull green and others that are a dark blue. I was drawn to the brighter, more cheerful hues, particularly yellow. If the package had been accurate, I would have chosen a different brand. Red, white, and a medium violet are the other colors available in addition to blue and green. The candles are fine in and of themselves.
Despite the fact that there were 44 candles in total and they did an excellent job for Hanukkah, I wanted to make sure that others were aware that some of our candles arrived broken (in two pieces). I attempted to contact the seller twice but received no response. Perhaps expected given the price, but I don't want others to be caught off guard if they have the same experience. I'll also mention that lighting the candles was a bit of a challenge. They'd catch on fire and then go out, sometimes multiple times. This happened to about one out of every five candles, in my opinion. Personally, I won't buy it again because it made lighting the candles a little more difficult-- as well as being a little less seamless- I'd rather not.
I ordered five boxes to ensure that all of the children could light all of the candles on all of the nights. There will be no brawls. There are far more heinous crimes than learning how to light candles and pray on the wrong night. Yes, a few came broken, and yes, a few spilled out of the box, but I was just glad to have all the candles I needed. That's one thing off your mind. Yes, the wicks were trimmed, but the candles are large enough for both small and large fingers, and the size is ideal.
Very let down. The item is not as depicted in the image. It was packaged in a bright red box. Instead of being green, it is white. I ordered these in pastel colors the last time I ordered them. These have a lot of contrast. The boxes had been tampered with as well.
