The Funistree Flower Candle Warmer Lamp combines a decorative petal-shaped shade with a warming bulb, dimmer and timer. It is intended for jar-candle owners who want fragrance and a soft lamp glow without lighting a wick.
Review disclosure: We did not personally test this lamp. NBC Select reports that senior editor Shalwah Evans tested it and liked its slow, even melting, fragrance performance in a larger space and long cord. This article summarizes that published review and available product information rather than claiming our own hands-on test.
Quick verdict
Best for: shoppers who like vintage-inspired decor and want a timer and dimmer. Watch out for: the glass shade and bulb become hot during use.
NBC Select lists dimensions of 6.6 × 5.4 × 10.7 inches for the model in its May 2026 guide and describes two included halogen bulbs, with one used at a time. Retailer versions can change, so confirm measurements, timer settings and bulb type before buying.
Design and room fit
The flower-like shade is designed to stand out on a dresser, side table or reading nook. It may suit vintage, cottage or eclectic interiors; the ornate shape may be less appealing to minimalist shoppers. Measure your space and candle jar before ordering.
Timer and dimmer
NBC Select describes a timer and a dial that dims the light. These controls can help set a warming session and adjust intensity, but scent throw varies with the candle formula, jar size, room airflow and lamp distance. Check replacement-bulb availability too.
What published testing says
NBC Select says senior editor Shalwah Evans tested the Funistree model and appreciated slow, even melting, fragrance performance in a larger space and its long cord. The same guide warns that the glass gets very hot. These are the source’s reported observations, not a new test conducted for this article.
Expert context
A warmer removes the open flame while heating wax, but it remains a heating appliance. Never light the wick while the warmer is operating, touch or move it while hot, or leave it running unattended. Follow the manual for bulb type, jar compatibility and clearance.
