I had heard, though this is the first non-radio product I've come across. I guess Ekco found their expensive presses were lying idle for an embarrassing amount of time, so found a way to use them profitably!
I was wondering what happened to the Plastic Products division after the acquisition by Pye and by Philips, but Wikipedia provided the answer - it became Lin Pac Mouldings.

They do look similar - but the instruction sheet emphasizes the difference between night-lights and calorettes, at least. Where tea-lights fit in, I'm not sure - do we have any chandlers on the Forum?
