About this replacement bulbs
Creative Hobbies Replacement Light Bulbs for Electric Candle Lamp, 7W Pack
Incandescent bulbs rated at 1,000 hours last approximately one year when used 3 hours per day. Halogen bulbs rated at 2,000+ hours can last two or more years at the same usage level. If you notice the lamp dimming or the wax not melting as quickly as it used to, the bulb is approaching the end of its life and should be replaced before it fails.
Always let the lamp cool for at least 10 minutes before replacing a bulb — the shade and bulb housing get hot during operation. Hold the bulb by its base, not the glass, when removing it (oils from skin can cause hotspots on halogen glass that shorten bulb life). Screw in the replacement hand-tight; there's no need to force it.
Candle warmer lamp bulbs are not always easy to find in local hardware stores — many are specific wattages or shapes not stocked by mainstream retailers. Buying a pack of 2–6 when you purchase the lamp means you'll always have a replacement available without a delay.
A small number of LED bulbs are specifically designed to generate enough heat for candle warmer lamps. These are typically labelled "candle warmer LED" or "high-heat LED". They last 10–25x longer than incandescent bulbs and use less electricity, but cost more upfront. If your lamp supports them (check the manufacturer's recommendation), they're a worthwhile long-term investment.

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.
