About this replacement bulbs
Creative Hobbies Replacement Light Bulbs for Electric Candle Lamps, 7W
Incandescent bulbs are the traditional choice for candle warmer lamps — they produce a warm, yellow-toned light and generate heat efficiently. Halogen bulbs (which are a type of incandescent) run slightly hotter and brighter at the same wattage, making them well-suited to larger-capacity warmers or thicker-walled candles.
If your candle warmer lamp includes a dimmer, check that the replacement bulb is compatible with dimming. Incandescent and halogen bulbs are inherently dimmable. Some specialty LED candle warmer bulbs are also dimmable but must be explicitly labelled as such — a standard LED on a dimmer circuit can flicker or fail prematurely.
Many candle warmer lamp bulbs use a flame-tip (torpedo) shape rather than a standard round bulb. This isn't just decorative — the shape directs heat downward more efficiently toward the wax surface. Silicone-dipped flame-tip bulbs add a soft diffusion effect and a slightly warmer light colour.
A 25W incandescent bulb running 3 hours a day costs about $0.012 per day at the US average electricity rate — under $4.50 per year. Even a 40W bulb costs under $7 per year at the same rate. The electricity cost of running a candle warmer lamp is genuinely negligible compared to the cost of the candles themselves.

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.
