Hands‑on: SwitchBot Candle Warmer — 50W GU10 heat lamp with smart app controls

SwitchBot’s new candle‑warmer lamp uses a 50W GU10 heat bulb to melt scented‑candle wax without an open flame. It’s designed as a flame‑free alternative that releases fragrance while avoiding soot, burning wicks and open‑flame risks.

The device is compact and intended for tabletop use. In our quick hands‑on, it felt unobtrusive and effective at liquefying wax quickly while leaving the candle container intact for reuse.

Key features

• 50W GU10 heat bulb: focused thermal output to melt candle wax safely and evenly.
• No open flame: reduces fire risk and soot, making candles usable in places where flames are undesirable.
• Smart app controls: SwitchBot’s app provides scheduling, remote on/off and other settings for convenient operation.
• Compact design: small footprint suitable for desks, bedside tables and small living spaces.

Practical notes

The warmer is best for those who want candle fragrance without flame aesthetics — it won’t produce the same flicker, but it’s safer for shared living spaces and apartments. As with any heat device, keep it away from flammable materials and follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines. Confirm GU10 bulb compatibility before buying replacement bulbs.
