The ideal candle size depends on the lantern’s dimensions. Generally, use candles that are no taller than two-thirds the height of the lantern and no wider than half the base width.

Ensure the flame has enough clearance to avoid heat damage to the lantern. LED candles of similar size are also a safe and convenient alternative.
