why Can't Someone Invent A Candle That Last
Why can't someone invent a candle that lasts all day for menoras,
or an idea for candles that last for eight days. mine hardly last the night.

Candles.
Would it be acceptable to use Oil candles? that way they will last for DAYS not just half an hour. I wish Hanukkah could be lit up for the whole 8 days
