Beeswax Collection

All of our beeswax candle covers are hand made to order. They are individually hand dipped and drips are then added by hand. As a result, no two will look exactly alike. These are one of a kind products made right here in the USA! We take great pride in the quality and uniqueness of our candle covers. 

Candle covers are also known as candle sleeves. They are designed to cover the socket on a chandelier or wall sconce. Our beeswax collection features candle sleeves of a variety of different sizes and styles. This includes uncommon sizes such as sizes found in Europe. In the UK these are often referred to as candle tubes.

Beeswax Candle Covers FAQ

1. What are beeswax candle covers made of?+
They are handcrafted from natural beeswax, giving them a warm, authentic candle-like glow. Each piece is unique.
2. Are beeswax candle covers heat-safe?+
Yes, when installed correctly. Beeswax covers can be used with LED bulbs of any wattage, or incandescent bulbs up to 25 watts maximum. Higher wattage incandescent bulbs can cause melting.
3. How do I choose the right size?+
Measure your socket carefully:

Candelabra socket: 3/4” outside diameter → needs a candelabra cover (13/16” inside).
Medium/Edison socket: 1-1/8” outside diameter → needs a medium base cover (1-3/16” inside).
European socket: 15/16” outside diameter → custom beeswax covers are available.

Also measure height from the bottom of the socket to the top of the socket or cardboard insulator (for incandescent), or to the top of the bulb’s metal base (for LED). Find detailed instructions on our Measurement & Installation page.
4. My old candle cover fits - can I just order the same height?+
Not always. Many existing covers were installed too tall. Please measure correctly to avoid melting or scorching.
5. Do I need a cardboard insulator?+
Not always. If your socket does not currently have them they may not be required. Please see our "Measurement & installation" page for details. If your socket does have cardboard insulators you must always use these U.L.-listed cardboard insulator over the socket terminals (the screws inside the socket). This prevents electrical hazards. If your current insulator is worn, brittle, or missing, replace it.
6. Can beeswax covers be used outdoors?+
Beeswax is sensitive to heat and weather. They are designed only for indoor use. Our resin candle covers should be used outdoors.
7. Do beeswax covers drip like real candles?+
No. They are solid beeswax and will not drip or burn down. The natural surface texture mimics real wax drips.
8. How do I install them?+
Simply slide the cover over the socket (with insulator in place). Ensure the cover height is level with the top of the socket (if using incandescent) or fully covering the bulb’s metal base (if using LED).
9. What bulbs work best with beeswax covers?+
LED bulbs: Any wattage is safe.
Incandescent bulbs: Up to 25W only. Higher wattages will melt the wax.
10. Can I order custom sizes?+
Yes. European socket sizes and special heights can be made in beeswax. Contact us for custom requests.
