History Of Roman Candles
Despite the name, Roman Candles, like most fireworks, originated in China. The history behind the name ‘Roman Candle’ is a rather unpleasant one.
This is because, much like the Catherine Wheel, the Roman Candle is named after an ancient torture device used in the Roman Empire under the emperor Nero.
How To Use Roman Candles
Of course, when learning how to use Roman Candles, the first thing we recommend is to read the instructions carefully as you should be following them closely to ensure your candles get the desired effect.
Make sure your Roman Candle is pointing towards the sky as the stars they emit can ignite things if they land before going out.
When you light the candle, make sure you back away quickly and let it fully burn out before attempting to go near it.
Most importantly, make sure you do not light a Roman Candle in an area where there are things that could easily catch on fire, a wide-open space is preferable.
Roman Candles are great fireworks, but what makes them better is their ability to be combined effectively with other fireworks, like fountains and sparklers, which all create unique and beautiful patterns.

Roman candles work by igniting the pyrotechnic compositions in each chamber sequentially. As each chamber ignites, it propels the stars or sparks into the air, creating a visual effect.
Roman candles can be safe for consumer use when handled responsibly and in accordance with safety guidelines. However, it’s crucial to follow local laws and regulations regarding fireworks use and prioritize safety at all times.
Some additional safety tips for using Roman candles include:
Ensure that the Roman candle is positioned securely to prevent tipping.
Avoid leaning over the Roman candle or placing any body part directly above it when lighting.
Keep a fire extinguisher, bucket of water, or hose nearby for emergencies.
Assign a designated adult responsible for lighting and supervising the Roman candles.
