reading between lines-- it would all depend on the evaporation temp of the associated wax. the actual flame is made by the wax being in gas form above a certain temp. i'm going to assume that you are thinking along the lines of - the water acts as a heat sink, keeping the temp down therefore wax doesn't melt, then evap and get used. if the same wax fuel was used then i suppose floating candles of same size and dimensions should last longer. however i susspect that canny buisness types ensure that they all have fast burning candles in their stock lines (meaning a lower evap temp of the wax)
