What is another word for rush candle?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈʌʃ kˈandə͡l] (IPA) 
A rush candle, also known as a rushlight, was a type of candle made from rushes soaked in animal fat or beeswax. Synonyms for rush candles include: tallow candle, dipped candle, fat candle, and beeswax candle. Tallow candles were made from animal fat, usually from cows or sheep, and were cheaper and more readily available than beeswax candles. Dipped candles were made by repeatedly dipping wicks into melted wax or tallow. Fat candles were made from any kind of animal fat, including tallow and lard. Beeswax candles were made from beeswax, which burned cleanly and was prized for its sweet aroma. Many of these types of candles were used in the past for lighting purposes before electricity was invented.
