Candles
Light has a way of changing the energy of a space
Nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Golden Bay, Living Light have been handcrafting candles since 1998, inspired by nature, warmth, and the beauty of everyday living.
With a deep respect for the environment and community, Living Light create using carefully sourced ingredients, premium scents, soy wax, beeswax, and 100% cotton wicks. As residents of our beautiful planet, Living Light understands the importance of reducing their footprint on the environment. Each piece is handmade with love, intention, craftsmanship, and care — designed to bring warmth, atmosphere, and a sense of gentle everyday luxury into your space and sanctuary.
Candles create an atmosphere of calm and peace; a sense of hope for what matters. Each candle lit, is a gift giving quality to life, a moment of reflection, or an evening of romance.
A candle gives comfort to those mourning a loved one’s passing, or the celebration of birth. Candles have a way of softening a space, bringing comfort, and presence to everyday moments — from slow evenings at home to times of reflection, celebration, connection, and remembrance
The simple act of lighting a candle invites us to pause, breathe, and reconnect with ourselves.
Light has a way of changing the energy of a space, reminding us that even in the darkness, there is always light.

In order to optimise how well your candle will burn and how to avoid smoke and spillage, please follow our top seven candle care tips:
1. Remove any candle labels or cellophane before burning.
2. Protect surfaces with a candle plate to catch any leakage or make sure surfaces are heat and stain resistant.
3. Always keep wick trimmed to 5mm (trimming is best done before and during burning) and clear away wick debris each time.
4. Each candle has different burn time instructions, so please read labels carefully. Our Granite Pillar candles, for example, should burn for no more than 3 hours each time. This will prevent spillage and make the most efficient use of the wax.
5. In general, when burning a candle for the first time, burn it long enough to create a large hole. Depending on the type of candle, the time will vary between 3–4 hours. This will then set the ‘memory’ and will determine the way the candle will burn each time it is lit.
6. Store candles out of direct sunlight and at room temperature. Burn them in a well-ventilated room.
7. Stop burning your Soy Candle 1cm before the bottom of the jar. Although it is tempting to get the most burn time out of your candle if the jar becomes too hot a breakage may occur. Rest assured we have accounted for this and you will still get the stated burn time!
SAFETY:
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Remove any décor above or nearby the open flame.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
