While they were introduced back in 2001, they've really taken off this
past year. Electric candle warmer lamps "burn" your candles without ever
actually having to light them, so there's no traditional fire risk like
that associated with burning wax candles the traditional way.
So how does it work?
It's very simple. You just place your candle on the base, turn on the
warmer via the corded remote control, and enjoy the ambiance, very much
akin to burning a candle -- just without the flame. And if the candle is
scented, well, the smell is still glorious.
While you can find a ton of candle warmer lamps online, I absolutely fell
in love with the gorgeous faceted glass "lamp shade" on this particular
style candle warmer lamp -- the Elegant Amber Glass Candle Warmer Lamp. I was also drawn in by the mix of glass, brass and wood textures.
I believe the scent has been discontinued, but a close one would be
Pumpkin Chai. After reading its notes (ginger, spiced pumpkin, ginger bread, cinnamon,
vanilla) I believe it's the same scent with a new name!
The light intensity can be controlled. You can choose high, medium or
low intensity. The higher the intensity, the warmer it gets and the
faster your candle "burns." Regardless, I feel like my candles burn down
much slower with the candle warmer lamp. Yet I still get the exact same
enjoyment from them!
And bonus: they will always burn evenly!
It's so stylish that I even put it in my romantic primary bedroom
reading nook. But it can work just as well on your kitchen
counter!
The remote control is attached to the cord. There is an on/off button,
a button for choosing either a 2, 4 or 6 hour timer window, and plus or
minus buttons that control the lamp's intensity.
Here is an example of a wood wick candle. This one just happens to be
much smaller than my jar candle, however it still looks stylish in the
candle warmer lamp. It burned exactly the same as the traditional jar
candle. You do, however, forego the lovely crackling sound if you use it
under the lamp as opposed to the traditional burning method. But you
still get a warm glow, even burning and a lovely scent.
In some ways the candle warmer lamp is a bit like an electric wax melt
warmer. With the wax melt warmer, you just place some wax cubes or
"melts" in a saucer which then gets warmed by electricity to the point
they melt, providing the candle's scent without having to actually light
a candle. Some melt warmers even have an inner light bulb which can add
some low light ambiance to the room.
But in all honesty I have yet to find an electric wax melt warmer
that comes even close to the elegance and beauty of my Elegant Amber Glass Candle Warmer Lamp.
My favorite candle warmer lamp even comes with a slightly different
glass shade. We gave this Candle Warmer Lamp to our daughter for Christmas and she loves it!

And these are just a few examples! With so many to choose from there is
definitely a style for everyone. I know I wouldn't mind having a second
candle warmer lamp!
Well, that's it for today, friends!
