How Many Soy Candles for Emergency Use Should You Have on Hand?

Case of 12 Soy Emergency Candles
Emergency Candles
Great for power outages, or building up a kit. These long lasting emergency candles will burn for 150 hours and the flame will burn inside the jar for added safety. Melted wax is warm to the touch, and will not burn you like traditional paraffin candles. These candles are essential for building a 72 hour kit, year supply, and emergency preparedness. *Previously named Springwater Market Emergency candles.
How many emergency candles do I need?
You will need at least a case of twelve emergency candles per month in case of a long term outage. Each emergency candle will last 150 hours total burn time.
Houses are not built like they were in the late 1800’s early 1900’s when candles were the common source of light at night. Older homes were built to take advantage of sunlight throughout the day. To achieve this, there were no interior rooms, and all rooms (bathrooms, closets) a window was installed. This way, candles were not used during the day simply because there was no need. Also, older homes were built smaller and the light penetrated the house much easier than the larger homes of today.
Now, fast forward to today where candles are no longer considered a necessity, and homes are wired with electricity. Now, you can have interior rooms and hallways completely cut off from the natural sunlight, and without electricity, half of your home can be dark during the day, and you will need a light source to perform basic household functions.
During a full extended power outage, flashlights and batteries will only last so long. Once the batteries are dead, you will need to rely on candles as a source of light. Each of our emergency candles will give you over 100 hours of light. Our emergency candles are made of pure Cargill soy wax in a pressed mason jar with a large all cotton wicks. We have used the largest wick possible to maximize the amount of light generated. The wax will melt to a warm temperature, and will not burn you when spilled, and the natural soy wax in our emergency candles is non-toxic.
Our emergency candles will last 150 hours each, but you may expect a family of 4 to have five or more burning at once for 8 hours a day. You will need more if you have dark interior rooms like bathrooms and hallways that will need light throughout the day. Thus 5 candles times 8 hours a day = 40 hours per day. 40 X 31 days a month = 1240 hours a month. A full case of our emergency candles will provide 1200+ hours of light. This is where we get our recommendation of one case per month. Larger homes with multiple interior rooms can expect to be burning 10+ candles every night and morning to keep the house lit.

Why are medical IDs critical?
Perhaps your doctor, nurse or pharmacist advised you to obtain and always wear a medical ID. Why is it important?
* In an emergency, when you might not be able to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet or necklace speaks for you.
* Symptoms of common ailments can easily be misdiagnosed. Prompt diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. A brief description of vital medical facts engraved on your medical ID ensures appropriate and timely medical care.
* According to a published study, half of all medical errors occur because of mistakes made upon admission or discharge from the hospital. Wearing a medical ID protects against potentially harmful medical errors.
* More than 95 percent of emergency responders look for a medical ID; more than 75 percent check for a medical ID immediately upon assessing the patient. If you're wearing a medical ID, it won't be missed.
* Medical IDs can eliminate trips to the hospital, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and prevent minor emergencies from becoming major ones. Medical IDs save lives! One day, a medical ID may save you.
Who should wear a medical ID?
If you have ongoing medical conditions, drug or food allergies, or are taking multiple medicines, you should wear a medical ID alert. An engraved medical ID bracelet or necklace presenting a concise overview of your conditions, allergies and medicines will alert a doctor or medic before starting treatment. Informing medical personnel about your unique medical conditions and needs will greatly aid pre-hospital care.
Below is a partial list of ailments or persons who should wear a medical ID:
* Diabetes
* Heart disease (angina, atrial fibrillation, pacemakers)
* Blood thinners/anticoagulants (Coumadin/Warfarin)/even aspirin
* Drug allergies (such as Penicillin)
* Food allergies (such as peanut)
* Insect allergies (such as bee stings)
* Alzheimer's/Dementia/Memory impairment
* Anemia
* Ankylosing Spondylitis
* Arrhythmias
* Asthma
* Autism
* ADD/ADHD
* Bariatric surgery patients
* Blood disorders
* Breathing disorders
* Cerebral Palsy
* Clinical trial patients
* COPD
* Cystic Fibrosis
* Emphysema
* Epilepsy, seizures
* Hearing, sight or mentally impaired
* Hypertension
* Kidney failure
* Mental health patients
* Multiple Sclerosis
* Parkinson's Disease
* People taking multiple medications
* Rare diseases
* Special needs children
* Stroke risk
* Surgery, transplant or cancer patients
* Tourette Syndrome
These medical ailments demand a medical ID. In particular, many individuals suffer from allergies or asthma yet do not wear an allergy bracelet or asthma ID. Or for those suffering from epilepsy, an epilepsy bracelet is a must. If you're unsure whether you need to wear a medical ID tag, consult your physician or pharmacist. Or, if you prefer, contact our office for assistance.
Medical IDs are also recommended for family caregivers, in case they are ever in an accident, to ensure their loved one can get the care they need.
