candle warmer light bulb

Common bases include the standard medium Edison screw (E26), the smaller candelabra screw (E12), and twist‑lock bi‑pin types such as GU10. The specific base depends on the warmer’s design.

Candle warmers and wax melters use LED bulbs, traditional incandescent bulbs, and halogen bulbs across different models.

Most bulbs are designed for a warm, candlelike glow. Examples include vintage‑style LEDs around 2150 K and softer, flame‑like flicker bulbs around 1600 K, both commonly described as warm candlelight.

Electric warmers run on mains power and some models include controls such as 2‑, 4‑, or 8‑hour timers. Certain designs also double as night lights.

Electric warmers use the heat generated by a bulb (for example, a halogen or similar bulb) to warm and melt wax cubes or jar wax, producing a warm glow without an open flame.
