"More than half (58%) of home candle fires occurred when some form of combustible material was left or came too close to the candle."

I don't see how Ludela can solve this, so that leaves <1000.

In fact, this kind of large candles probably don't set much on fire, it's the little ones that people put on Christmas trees and such that are really dangerous.

Wait, who is dumb enough to put a real candle on a Christmas tree?!

Oh, it's traditional in many European countries, and so it has been imported into the US. I still have a kind of clip-on holder inherited from my grandparents, like this: http://cdn.notonthehighstreet.com/system/product_images/imag...

I only use LEDs, of course.
