tiki torches

Tiki torches are decorative outdoor lighting devices often made from bamboo or metal, filled with fuel to create an open flame. They originated from Polynesian culture, where they were traditionally used as torches for lighting and ceremonies. In modern contexts, tiki torches serve to enhance outdoor spaces, such as patios and gardens, by providing ambient lighting and a festive atmosphere for gatherings. They typically burn citronella oil, which helps repel insects, making them popular for summer events. While they add charm, safety should be observed when using them to prevent fire hazards.
