Halogen candle warmer lamp bulb — optimal heat for melting jar candle wax
The correct bulb is essential for a candle warmer lamp: too low and the wax won't melt; too high and the fragrance burns off too quickly.
Compatible with the most common candle warmer lamp fittings — keep a spare on hand so a burned-out bulb never interrupts your routine.
Replacement bulb for E14 candle warmer lamps — generates the heat needed to melt jar candle wax consistently. Incandescent and halogen bulbs are required for most candle warmer lamps; standard LED bulbs don't produce enough heat to melt wax.

Not all bulbs are equal in a candle warmer lamp. The bulb must generate enough heat to melt wax — which requires an incandescent or halogen source. Standard energy-efficient LED bulbs produce mainly light and very little heat, which is why they don't work in most candle warmer lamps unless specifically rated for the purpose.
Most candle warmer lamps are designed for 25W–40W incandescent or halogen bulbs. A 25W bulb melts standard paraffin and soy wax in 15–20 minutes. A 40W bulb works faster and is more effective with dense beeswax candles or large 3-wick jars. Never exceed the maximum wattage printed inside your lamp's shade.
E14 (European small Edison screw, 14mm diameter) is the standard fitting for most candle warmer lamps sold in the US and globally. E12 (12mm, also called "candelabra base") is also common, particularly in some US-market lamps. Check your lamp's manual or the existing bulb to confirm which fitting you need before ordering.
Signs your bulb needs replacing: wax no longer melts within 20 minutes; the ambient glow from the lamp is dimmer than usual; or the bulb has physically failed (glass is blackened, or the lamp doesn't come on). Keep at least one spare bulb with the lamp so a failure doesn't interrupt daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bulb work with my candle warmer lamp?
Check the fitting: this bulb fits E14 (14mm small Edison screw) bases, which is the most common fitting for candle warmer lamps. Verify the fitting and maximum wattage in your lamp's manual before installing.
Do I need an incandescent bulb or will an LED work?
Most candle warmer lamps require incandescent or halogen bulbs because they generate heat. Standard LED bulbs produce minimal heat and won't melt wax. Use an LED only if it's specifically labelled as compatible with candle warmer lamps.
How do I know if the wattage is correct?
If wax doesn't melt evenly within 20 minutes, the wattage may be too low. If the wax overheats rapidly (bubbling or losing scent quickly), the wattage may be too high. The ideal wattage is specified in your lamp's manual.
How do I replace the bulb?
Let the lamp cool completely, then unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise. Insert the new bulb and tighten clockwise until snug. Don't over-tighten. For halogen bulbs, hold by the base to avoid skin contact with the glass.
