A tealight is a candle used in tea or food warmers. It is different from a regular candle in that it is encased in a thin metal cover and liquefies completely while lit. In tealights the wick is tethered to a piece of metal to stop it from floating to the top of the molten wax and burning before the wax does.
Tealights are often used in to heat fondue and as food warmers. They are also suitable for accent lighting and heating scented oil.
