Like beeswax, spermaceti wax did not create a repugnant odor when burned, and produced a significantly brighter light. It was also harder than either tallow or beeswax, so it would not soften or bend in the summer heat. The first "standard candles" were made from spermaceti wax.

Now poorer people could now easily afford candles.

During the 1990s, new types of candle waxes were being developed due to an unusually high demand for candles.

In Europe, a number of techniques were used to make candles in the early periods.

Moulds were used later, and in the 19th century, large-scale
