The guide
Which candles suit a candle warmer lamp
An adjustable lamp like the Adewalk gold works best when the shade sits at just the right height above your candle — here is how to find it.
Size and shape
Wide, shallow jars melt evenly and fastest; very tall, narrow candles need a higher setting and patience. Because this lamp's arm covers about 5.5 to 17 cm, you can raise it for tall jars and lower it for tins.
Wax and fragrance
Soy and coconut blends melt at lower temperatures and fill a room easily; paraffin gives a stronger throw; beeswax needs more heat and gives a subtler scent. Heavily scented, well-poured candles reward the extra even melt.
Wax melts too
A shallow heatproof dish of melts works as well as a jar. Place it on the base, bring the bulb close, and switch off when the pool is clear of solids.
