The cheap ones also all seem to have holes in the metal containers and leak terribly (Sainsbury's basics, I'm looking at you). You get an hour or so of light and then another hour's 'entertainment' chipping the wax out of everything ...

That explains the bits of wax at the bottom of my burner! I thought I must have been clumsy taking the tealights out but couldn't remember spilling any of them.

Meant to say earlier, it's not just the white tealights from other shops that don't last as long as those from Ikea. I bought some scented tealights from Sainsburys and those only last about an hour too. I've given up just lighting them now, I pull them out of the metal cup, put one in the 'dish' of my burner and then put ordinary tealight underneath. Once the wax has melted, I gently lift out the wick and throw it away. I find that I can melt that wax then for about 3 days before the fragrance fades, much better than the hour's worth of fragrance I'd get for just burning the tealight.
