Candle Warmer Lamps

Enjoy the fragrance of scented wax in your home without the risk of open flames or soot by heating it with candle warmer lamps. Available in various styles, these lamps provide decorative accent lighting while filling your space with pleasant scents.

What Are Candle Warmer Lamps?

Candle warmer lamps are small lamps designed specifically for use with jar candles. Halogen bulbs heat the candle from the top down, releasing fragrance as the candle's wax melts. Since the wick is not being burned, the dangers of open flames are eliminated, making candle warmers a safe alternative to lit candles.

Candle warmers are ideal for use where traditional candles can create a safety hazard if knocked over by children, pets, or visitors. Use them in living rooms, bedrooms, dorm rooms, entryways, hotels, offices, and more. Plus, they aren't just limited to candles. Candle warmer lamps can be used with wax chips, wax melts, tarts, and potpourri as long as they are placed in a glass jar or dish.

Features and Benefits of Candle Warmer Lamps

Most candle warmer lamps are electric and plug into nearby outlets. They typically use replaceable halogen MR16 lamps with a GU10 base to ensure candles get hot enough for the wax to melt. When choosing replacement bulbs, do not exceed the maximum wattage of the socket. Some warmers have adjustable arm heights to accommodate larger candles.

Candle warmers also feature built-in controls such as timers and dimmers. Timers ensure that the lamp automatically shuts off after a set period of hours. Dimming the bulb adjusts the amount of fragrance being released. A brighter setting will have a higher scent throw, while a lower setting will reduce the scent released.

There are many benefits to using candle warmer lamps. These lamps add a decorative touch to any space while providing warm accent lighting. Candle wicks do not need to be cut. There are no flames and no soot from smoke. Additionally, these lamps help extend the life of candles since the wax isn't being burned.
