Window candle count
Quick count of window candles from the number of windows and candles per window (plus optional spares).
Formula
candles = windows × candles_per_window · order = ceil(candles × (1 + spare_%))
Use 1 for a classic single candle; 2–3 for wider sills.
Does not change math — helps you inventory by floor.
FAQ
How many candles per window?
Most Colonial-style displays use one centered candle; wide picture windows may look better with two or three.
Battery or plug-in?
Count is the same. Plug-in sets still need outlet and cord planning.
Should I buy spares?
Yes — bulbs and bases fail; a small spare percentage avoids dark windows mid-season.
Only front windows?
Count only the windows you will dress, not every opening on the house.
