Abstract The purpose for doing this experiment/project was to determine which candle was more efficient coloured or white. Many people may be thinking why is it important to know which candle is better to use, well it is very important actually because if you were ever in a case where the power went out, or you are just wanting to save money and power by shutting off the electricity you want to have the most efficient candle there in that situation. This was important for me to find out because my family lost power about five years ago and only had coloured scented candles and they worked out fine but after that I wondered if there was a different or more efficient candle that we could have used.
