In the USA alone, 7,500 house fires are caused by candles every year. These fires often start due to inattentiveness and negligence. The Candle Lantern with a Timer not only reminds the user of the active flame but encourages them to develop a habit of keeping it top of mind. Rotating the handle sets a timer for the desired duration, after which a bell rings to capture the user’s attention. This sound prompts a decision to either reset the timer or use the mechanical shutter on the lid to safely extinguish the candle, reducing the chances of accidental fires.
