Candles have long been a way to increase the ambiance within a home. Before the invention of electricity, people used candles as primary lighting. Today, candles are more of an aesthetic item, providing scent throughout the house. However, their flame makes them unsafe for households with pets and children. Wickless candles are a safer alternative that many consumers are now using.
A candle that is wickless is really just wax without a wick. It is used with a special warming container that features a light bulb powered by electricity. When power is supplied to the container, the light bulb turns on, heating the wax held in the container tray. Since there is no flame, this product is safer to use than a traditional candle. The electric cord features an on-off switch so users can turn off the light bulb without unplugging the unit. Some warmers plug directly into an outlet and these also feature a power switch.
Wax cubes are sold in bars that last at least 50 to 80 hours. Only one or two wax cubes are added to the warming tray on the container at one time. When the wax is heated by the light bulb, it gets to just above body temperature. Therefore, even if the wax spills while the product is in use, it will not harm or burn the skin. However, to prevent a spill, users should take care not to move warmers containing melted wax. The wax will never evaporate, so there is no chance of it burning or scorching.
When it loses its scent, melted wax can be poured into a disposable container and discarded. If the wax is solid, turning on the warmer for a few minutes softens it so it can be peeled from the warming tray and disposed. After melted wax is removed, the tray can be safely wiped with a rag or paper towel. A new supply of wax can then be added.
The light bulbs used are low wattage, ranging from 15 to 25 watts depending on the size of the warming unit. This means that they will not get as hot as a standard light bulb used in a lamp. Bulbs are either partially or fully contained in the warming units, making burns less likely than with an open flame of a traditional candle.
Since the wax does not have a flame, burning it also does not release lead, soot, or smoke. This is a benefit for users with respiratory issues like asthma and emphysema. People who cannot tolerate smoke should not experience issues with wickless wax. Those with the strongest allergies may want to select lighter scents.
Wickless candles are suitable for indoor use throughout the home. Many styles of warming containers are decorative enough to be displayed on a table or shelf. Prices vary depending on the size of the warmer but in general, are quite reasonable. Wax bars come in a wide variety of scents so consumers are not limited in their fragrance choices.
