Peace Candle
The Peace Candle has undergone several changes and variations over the last 58 years. The current candle was built in 1990, and is expected to last until about 2014, after which time Easton officials expect to build a new one. As of 2009, the central main candle stands , and the base brings it to about . It reaches a height of about above ground level when factoring the monument it rests atop. When the candle is assembled, several by 8-foot by box pieces are placed around the Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument, a Civil War memorial in Centre Square, the town square of Easton's Downtown neighborhood. Made from marine-grade plywood and galvanized steel, the box pieces are stacked vertically until the structure is assembled, and then bolted together using about 500 bolts inside the Peace Candle. The flame placed atop the candle is about high and illuminated with 31 bulbs. The entire structure weighs between eight and 10 tons. The main candle is surrounded by four, high side candles, and a fountain that surrounds the Peace Candle's base is filled with a ring of Christmas trees.
Outdoor candle
An outdoor candle, which is also known a pitch torch or a garden candle (, , ) is a large (usually 10 cm wide) tealight-like candle that are lit outside. They are commonly found in Scandinavia, and are used as an outdoor decoration in private gardens, graves or at the side of roads or paths. They made from paraffin in a metal cup with thick centimetre wick, which heats up to 1000 °C. Due to this heat, and the fact they are designed be weatherproof, they have to be properly stuffed out with a snuffer.
