A rushlight is a long, thin, tallow candle with a grease-saturated rush serving as a fuel reservoir and wick. The rushlight cannot be burned upright because it would burn too quickly; it has to be at an angle. The simplest kind of holder is made by splitting a stick and placing the rush diagonally in the opening. Unlike candles, the rushlight cannot be left burning for more than a few minutes without attention. (English)
