Meet Lu-Ann Bure, the creator of Lu Lights
Wax soy is so good
Soy wax is a natural, plant-based wax derived from soybeans. It burns cleaner and cooler, releasing significantly less soot into your home. That means cleaner air, a longer burn, and a truer scent from the first light to the last.
Soy wax melts at a cooler temperature and therefore it often burns slower and more steadily, which can extend overall burn time.
Soy wax also holds fragrance exceptionally well. You get a fuller, more even scent throw throughout the candle’s life. For a candle you light in your bedroom, your bath, or beside your morning coffee, that distinction matters.
Lasting moments, and more. Soy wax provides up to 50% more burn time than regular wax. So, you can enjoy the allure of your Lu Light longer.
Hand-Poured in Small Batches
Every Lu Lights candle is hand-poured in Kloof, KZN. We work in small batches so that each candle receives the attention it deserves. The wax temperature, the fragrance ratio, and the pour—each step is done by hand.
Small-batch production means you can trust what you receive has been created with meticulous care. No shortcuts; no machines. And no candle that leaves our studio without meeting our standard.
Take comfort knowing that a person prepares your personalised candle, handpicking your jar, lid, and your scent.
There’s a Lu Light just for you.
Proudly South African — Made in Kloof, KZN
Lu Lights was founded in Kloof, a suburb of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal. We ship nationwide across South Africa.
Supporting Lu Lights means supporting a local, independent artisanal business. Every candle you buy, or give as a gift, keeps craft alive and supports a maker who pours care into every single one.
Lu Lights is a female-owned business built on a simple belief: that beautiful, considered things should not be reserved for special occasions. They should be part of everyday life.
We make candles that feel intentional rather than incidental. Candles that turn an ordinary day or evening into something worth savouring.
