This unique electric fragrance lamp is designed to fill the area with a refreshing aromatic scent. Unlike candle based oil warmers, you are in control. Use the dimmer to adjust the halogen light to warm the oil a little or a lot depending on how much scent or light you want in the area. It can serve as a nightlight or create a relaxing mood with soft light and sweet smelling scents. This lamp is safe to use in any area of the home because there is no flame. You can adjust the heat level to be safe for any area. Simply place fragrance oil or a wax tart on to the small dish on the top of the lamp, plug it in and adjust the dimmer. Always let the lamp cool before adding more oil or wax to the dish. This oil warmer uses a 35W halogen bulb. Replacements are available on Amazon or at most hardware stores.
