What is a candle hurricane?
1 Answer

Hurricane lamps are designed to work in high winds because a glass chimney protects the flame. Hurricane candles use liquid paraffin rather than wax and can burn longer and with less odor and smoke. Shop a range of antique and modern hurricane lamps on 1stDibs.
