It sells itself on the counter
Light a candle inside, set the timer, and let shoppers watch the lid swing shut at 0:00. A product that demonstrates itself does the selling for your staff.
Wholesale
Your customers buy candles. Sell them the way to put them out.
ALEC is a patented glass candle holder with a built-in timer. When time is up, the lid closes and the flame goes out. It demos itself, sells next to every candle you stock, and ships gift-boxed.

“Do you use that automatic candle extinguisher because you forget to blow out your candle?”
That question opens one of our Instagram reels, and it's the conversation ALEC starts at your counter. Everyone who burns candles knows the feeling.
Why stores carry ALEC
Four reasons it earns its shelf space.
Every candle sale becomes an add-on
Small holds jar candles up to 5″ wide and 5″ tall, and Large fits taller jars. Shelve ALEC beside your candles and every candle shopper has a reason to buy one more thing.
Patented, not another commodity
The automatic timed lid is protected by U.S. Patent No. 10,544,938 and European Patent EP 3491291. It's an invention by founder Shay Philips, not a generic import.
Gift-boxed and ready to wrap
Every ALEC arrives in its own gift box, so it goes straight to the shelf and straight into gift bags. No repackaging, no extra work.
Proof, not promises
Real homes. Real posts.
Straight from our Instagram: real candles, real rooms, and the lid closing at 0:00.

Wholesale questions

We share wholesale pricing and order minimums with approved accounts. Applying is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
What's the suggested retail price?
ALEC sells on our site for $50 (Small) and $55 (Large).
Which candles fit ALEC?
Small (5.28″ × 6.25″) holds jar candles up to 5″ wide and 5″ tall. Large (5.00″ × 7.50″) is made for taller jar candles and is slightly slimmer, so check jar width too. If you make or sell candles, tell us your jar sizes in your application.
How does ALEC work?
Light a jar candle inside the glass holder and set a burn time with the Timer button. At 0:00 the lid closes over the glass and the flame goes out. Press Open/Close any time. ALEC recharges over USB-C. Like any candle, it should never be left burning unattended.
How is it packaged?
Each ALEC comes in its own gift box, ready for your shelf.
