Blue Plastic Candle Windguards: Protection and Atmosphere for Processions and Vigils

Organizing an outdoor procession or a candlelight vigil requires careful attention to detail, especially when managing candlelight. Our blue plastic candle windguards (also known as candle shields, cups, or flambeaux) are engineered to solve the two main challenges of any evening service: wind blowing out the flame, and hot wax dripping onto the hands or clothes of the faithful.

Why Choose the Blue Shade? Visually, the blue plastic filters the yellow light of the candle, creating a beautiful, serene cerulean glow. This visual effect is highly traditional and requested for Marian processions, pilgrimages, and May devotion services.

Technical and Practical Features:

• Heat-Resistant Plastic: The high-quality polymer used will not deform from the heat of the nearby flame, ensuring constant transparency throughout the event.

• Optimized Cup Shape: The flared top design channels air currents upward, protecting the flame even during sudden gusts of wind.

• Universal Secure Fit: The base is engineered to securely fit standard diameters of processional candles and tapers, preventing dangerous wobbling.

Organizer's Tip: For a flawless color result, we recommend pairing these shields with classic white wax candles or white LED candle inserts.

Optimized Dimensions: How to Choose the Right Candle

To ensure maximum stability and prevent the candle from tilting while walking, precise dimensions are essential. Our blue plastic flambeaux feature a proportioned cup shape designed to perfectly balance wind protection with a comfortable grip.

• The Bottom Opening (Base): The insertion hole features a slightly tapered inner fit that securely holds candles with a diameter between 14 mm and 18 mm. This covers almost all standard processional tapers and church candles on the market.

• The Upper Cup (Windguard): With a height of 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) and a top diameter of 5,5 cm (approx. 2.5 inches), the shield creates an ample air chamber around the flame. This distance prevents the plastic walls from overheating and ensures a steady supply of oxygen to keep the light burning evenly.
