Candle warmer guide
Candle warmer bulb replacement
Unplug the warmer and let the bulb cool. Use the bulb type and wattage listed on the unit, usually a GU10 halogen. Do not exceed the rating. If the ceramic socket is cracked or the wiring is damaged, stop using it.
Match the bulb
Check the label on the lamp or in the instructions. It will list the bulb type, wattage, and voltage. A GU10 halogen is common. An LED bulb may not produce enough heat to melt wax, even if it fits the socket. Do not use a higher wattage than the label allows.
Replace it safely
Unplug the unit and wait for the bulb to cool. Remove the old bulb with a cloth or a bulb tool, not bare fingers on a hot envelope. Seat the new bulb firmly but do not overtighten. Plug the unit in and test it on a low setting.
When to stop
Stop using the warmer if the socket is cracked, the cord is frayed, the plug is loose, or the unit smells like burning. Those are not bulb problems. Replace the unit or contact the seller.
FAQ
Can I use an LED bulb?
Only if the manufacturer says it produces enough heat for the warmer. Most LEDs do not melt wax, even if they fit.
How long do bulbs last?
It varies by wattage, hours of use, and the unit. Keep a spare pair so a dead bulb does not end the session.
Why did my bulb burn out?
Heat, long sessions, a loose socket, or a bulb that was not rated for the unit can shorten its life. Check the rating and the socket.
