This year I'm using these candles to light my jack 'o lanterns. They're made by Ymittos Candles, you can see their info in the photo. They're in Massachusetts which isn't far from me. Shipping was quick.
These candles are called "jack-o-lite" or "slug." You might think of them as a "mini pillar" or a "giant votive." They're somewhere in between, which is great. Small enough to fit in a pumpkin, large enough to burn longer than a votive or tealight. They're 2 inches in height, and 2 inches in diameter.
For burn time I've heard anywhere from 11 hours, to 16 hours, to a full 24 hour day! I haven't burned one all the way down, but the one on the right was burned for 2 hours and hardly budged. These should last well through Halloween night and then some. Sure beats the tiny tealights I've used in the past. Supposedly they burn cleanly right through the center, so there's no much worry about needing a container for them, if they're just sitting in a pumpkin. I'll let you know how they actually performed after the big show.
Oh, almost forgot to mention, Ymittos Candles has also produced candles for quite a few movie productions. You can see their wax and wick work on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, for example. If it's good enough for Captain Jack, it's good enough for me.
