They are all self-extinguishing, as they burn themselves out.
Simply cut enough off the bottom end to give you the burning time you want, affix to plate, and that's it.
On the other hand, the self-distinguishing candle is harder, it must sufficient processing power (equal to that of a squaddie,
or perhaps a food processor) to engage in some feat of military valour.

What if your candle is too thick to cut? Or if it comes
in a glass jar? Jeez, it's like you're not even trying. |

|

That's a hell of a wide range - some food processors probably have a
16-bit (or better) embedded PIC microcontroller, whereas the average
squaddie is at best the equivalent of a couple of 4001's ... |

Just the candle ones, or did you mean generally? |

[ytk], you made me laugh. That is good. I love to
laugh. I still wish we could vote on annotations. Some
of them make my day. //It's like you're not even

Hahaha! |

In fact, this candling stuff is all baked anyway, remember seeing something like a candle-snuffer with a hinge and a pin, the pin went into the side of the candle, and when the wax around it melted is really the snuffer. |

Links are modern Swedish version and old-style version |

Oddly enough when I try to find some video of the device, and type in "snuffer film" I get something a little different... |
|
| |
Listen mate, I already linked to that on the first one (chronologically) - you posted your own candle extinguisher without even reading the others? The shame... |
|
| |
Here's an idea. Seal every door and window so your room is completely airtight, and carefully limit the amount of oxygen inside. You now have a candle that automatically extinguishes when you fall asleep. |

That's WKTE in Japan except it's one of those disposable barbecue thingies.... |
