If you come home tired from work or simply want to switch off, aromatherapy is often the best way to relax. Fragrances have a positive influence on our mood and have a relaxing effect. You can use incense sticks, scented candles or scented lamps to diffuse the fragrance in the room. Although many people use scented candles and incense sticks out of habit, scented lamps are also being used more and more frequently recently.
The combination of fragrance and light is nothing new in itself and Yankee candles are particularly popular with aromatherapy enthusiasts. However, electric fragrance lamps are a whole new level of distribution of stimulating light and soothing fragrance in the room. This more modern and often more practical version works with light bulbs and will spread a relaxing light and a pleasant fragrance in the room at the same time.

1. more safety with electric fragrance lamps
Electric fragrance lamps are increasingly finding their way into the living rooms of all those who want to let their senses be enchanted by fragrances while playing it safe. Compared to classic fragrance lamps with a burning candle, electric fragrance lamps are much safer. An electric fragrance lamp does not usually cause a fire, which is particularly important in households with children or older people. Electric fragrance lamps that can create a visual highlight such as stars and other shapes to suit the season have also proven themselves on the market.
2. essential oils or waxes?
Electric fragrance lamps can heat both essential oils and waxes to diffuse a pleasant fragrance in the room. However, not all models can be used with waxes and oils. There are only a few fragrance lamps that are suitable for both methods. Waxes must be heated to a high temperature in order to melt. In contrast to scented oil, there must be a smaller distance between the bulb and the bowl.
- Electric fragrance lamps for wax
Electric wax fragrance lamps emit fragrances via special waxes. These are melted in the bowl under or above the light bulb in the desired quantity and without water. In this way, the wax begins to release pleasant fragrances. As soon as the electric fragrance lamp is switched off again, the wax hardens again and can be used again at a later time. However, if the wax is no longer fragrant, it must be replaced. Here's a little tip to make it easier to get the wax out of the bowl: Simply place the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes and then squeeze the wax out of the bowl.
- Electric fragrance lamps for essential oils
Electric fragrance lamps for oils work on the same principle. A few drops of the desired essential oil and water are added to the bowl. This mixture evaporates and releases a pleasant fragrance into the room. In contrast to the electric fragrance lamp for wax, a lower temperature is required for this. Therefore, either the distance between the bowl and the bulb is greater or a weaker bulb is used.
3 Advantages and disadvantages
One disadvantage of electric fragrance lamps is that many models can be used with either wax or oil. This narrows down the choice considerably and forces you to opt for either essential oil or wax. However, there are also electric fragrance lamps that can be used with wax and oil at the same time. With these models, care must be taken to ensure that the wax and oil do not mix. Some models of electric fragrance lamps also require an adapter for mains plugs, which can be a little inconvenient. Even if electric fragrance lamps have some disadvantages, the numerous advantages clearly outweigh them. First of all, electric fragrance lamps combine soothing fragrances and pleasant light - and this therapy can also be used safely over a longer period of time. They can even be used overnight. Electric fragrance lamps are also safer to use than conventional solutions, as there is less risk of fire. Last but not least, the electric fragrance lamps are a real visual highlight in the room thanks to their stylish design and high-quality materials.
