Abstract: A jar candle includes a jar, a lid connected to the jar of the jar candle for articulation between an open position and a closed position, and an arrangement for controlling a flame of the jar candle. The arrangement includes an electromagnet carried in a housing fixed to the jar, a permanent magnet carried by the lid, and a power source for powering the electromagnet. The electromagnet cooperates with the permanent magnet to retain the lid in the open position when the power source powers the electromagnet and further cooperates with the electromagnet to repel the electromagnet and thereby articular the lid to the closed position.

Abstract: An arrangement for controlling a flame of a candle includes a lid mounted to the jar of the jar candle for articulation between an open position and a closed position. The arrangement further includes an electromagnet, a permanent magnet and a power source. The electromagnet is carried in a housing fixed to the jar. The permanent magnet is carried by the lid. The power source provides powering the electromagnet. The electromagnet cooperates with the permanent magnet to retain the lid in the open position when the power source powers the electromagnet and allow the lid to articulate to the closed position when the power source is disconnected from the electromagnet.
