Some of the first candles ever used were made to light up temples in ancient Egypt, China, Japan, and India. The making of candles was industrialized in 1834 when Joseph Morgan invented a machine that manufactured 1500 candles per hour. Today, it is easy to make candles at home, and many enjoy candle-making as a hobby. Candles are a great light source utilizing an internal wick that is surrounded by a column of wax. Paraffin wax is the most commonly used type of wax, though soy and vegetable-based wax candles are becoming more and more popular.
