Ah ha! Torches. Not lights.

All of my torches are perfectly contained. Non of the "tops" can come off at all.
The ones that do come off are only available in third world countries.

Target may still have some good ones. 4 packs are down to $8.88. However, if you have a Michaels in your hood they are on sale for $1.50 each.

The "tops" that you think fall off (that I think you are talking about) are actually screwed onto the canister that hold the fluid. Usually a good 8" into the torch.

No, I ordered ones that arrived that were horrible. The top pulled off with ease, the alum bottom was to be filled directly with oil, there was no way I was going to have something made like this mounted on my wood deck! A total fire hazzard.

My daughter found me some solar ones at Target or Lowe's. They don't have the allure of open flame but they're pretty damn cool looking. I also have the cheap oil torches, but my patio is cement, not wood. If I had a wood deck like you, I wouldn't even consider anything but the solar.
