View full detailsAbout Tealight Wax Melt Burners
Tealight wax melt burners are a traditional way to enjoy home fragrance. A small tealight sits beneath the upper dish, gently warming the scented wax and releasing fragrance into the room while creating a cosy candlelit glow.
Our collection includes decorative wax melt holders, candle-powered oil burners and unusual wax burners in ceramic, glass and metal designs. Choose from simple neutral styles, cute animals, cosy houses, botanical patterns, gothic designs and seasonal favourites.
Tealight Burners or Electric Burners?
A tealight burner is ideal when you want fragrance alongside a warm, flickering glow. An electric burner provides steadier heat without a naked flame and may be more convenient for regular everyday use.
Compare the different options in our complete wax melt burner guide, browse the full range of wax melt and oil burners, or shop our electric and plug-in burners.
How to Use a Tealight Wax Melt Burner
Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from curtains, shelves, children and pets. Add one piece of wax melt to the clean upper dish, then place a suitable unscented tealight in the space underneath.
Light the tealight and allow the wax to melt gradually. Never overfill the dish, leave the burner unattended or move it while the wax and burner are hot. Read our guide to using wax melts for more detailed advice.
Get the Best Scent from Your Burner
Keep the burner away from open windows, fans and busy doorways, as moving air can carry fragrance away and cause the flame to burn unevenly. Start with one piece of wax and replace it once the scent has faded, even if wax is still visible in the dish.
If your wax melt smells weak, the burner produces soot or something does not seem right, follow our wax melt burner troubleshooting guide. You can also find out why your wax melts may not smell as strong.
Cleaning Your Tealight Burner
Extinguish the tealight and allow the burner and wax to cool completely. Once the wax has hardened, gently remove it from the dish and wipe away any residue before changing fragrance. Never pour melted wax down the sink.
See our step-by-step guide on how to clean a wax melt burner for safe removal methods and advice for dealing with soot.
FAQs
What is a tealight wax melt burner?
A tealight wax melt burner uses the heat from a small candle placed underneath a dish of scented wax. As the wax melts, it releases fragrance into the room. They are also sometimes described as candle-powered wax burners or wax melt holders.
Is a tealight wax melt burner the same as a candle warmer?
No. A tealight wax melt burner uses a small tealight underneath a dish to melt scented wax. A candle warmer usually refers to an electric plate or lamp designed to heat a jar candle without lighting its wick.
Can I use fragrance oil in a tealight burner?
Only use fragrance or essential oils when the individual product is specifically described as a suitable oil burner. Follow its instructions carefully, as not every wax melt burner is designed for oils and usage requirements can differ.
How much wax should I put in a tealight burner?
Start with one piece of wax melt and make sure the dish is not overfilled. Larger rooms may need more fragrance, but you should stay within the burner manufacturer’s instructions and leave space around the melted wax.
What type of tealight should I use?
Use the tealight size and type recommended for the individual burner. Avoid oversized, stacked or multiple tealights, as excessive heat may damage the burner or overheat the wax.
Why is my tealight burner producing soot?
Soot can be caused by drafts, a poor-quality tealight, an oversized flame or incorrect positioning. Extinguish the candle, allow everything to cool and clean the burner before trying again. Our burner troubleshooting guide contains more detailed checks.
Are tealight or electric wax melt burners better?
Tealight burners provide a traditional candlelit atmosphere and usually warm the wax quite quickly. Electric burners offer consistent heat without a naked flame. The best option depends on where and how frequently you intend to use it.
How do I remove old wax from the burner?
Allow the wax to cool and harden completely, then gently lift it from the dish. If it is difficult to remove, warm the burner very briefly to loosen the edges before switching it off and wiping the dish clean. Read our full cleaning guide for more advice.
Can I leave a tealight wax burner unattended?
No. A lit tealight is an open flame and should never be left unattended. Keep the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface and away from children, pets, curtains and other flammable materials.

Returns & Refunds
Changed your mind?
For most online purchases, you have a statutory right to cancel without giving a reason. You must notify us within 14 days, starting the day after you receive your goods. If items arrive separately, the period normally begins after the final item arrives.
Once you've notified us, you have a further 14 days to send your items back. You can also cancel before delivery. We do not offer an additional voluntary change-of-mind returns period.
What can be returned?
Statutory cancellation rights apply to eligible full-price items, sale items and Blind Boxes. Certain legal exceptions apply, including clearly personalised goods, rapidly perishable products and some sealed hygiene products once unsealed.
You may reasonably inspect products as you would in a shop. Opening packaging does not automatically remove your cancellation rights. Where handling beyond necessary inspection reduces an item's value, a lawful deduction may apply.
Blind Boxes & collectables
Blind Box contents are randomly selected, and duplicates are possible. Receiving a duplicate or an unwanted design does not, by itself, make the product faulty.
Online Blind Box purchases remain subject to applicable statutory cancellation rights, including where the packaging has been opened. Any deduction for diminished value will be assessed individually.
How to return an item
Email sales@somethingdifferentuk.co.uk with your name, order number or other proof of purchase, and details of the items you wish to return.
You do not need our approval to exercise your statutory cancellation rights. Any clear cancellation notice sent within the applicable deadline is sufficient.
Please send your return to:
Something Different
Unit 2c Brunel Plaza
Swindon, Wiltshire
SN1 1LF
United Kingdom
Please package returned items securely and include your order details so we can identify your purchase.
Return postage
For unwanted items, you are normally responsible for return postage. We recommend using a tracked service and keeping proof of postage, although tracking is not compulsory.
If an item is faulty, damaged, incorrect or not as described, we will cover reasonable return costs where required by law. Please contact us so we can arrange a suitable return method.
Refunds & delivery charges
If you cancel your entire eligible online order, we will refund the goods and the original delivery charge, up to the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option for your order. Optional express delivery upgrades are not refundable.
For partial returns, the original flat-rate delivery charge is not normally refunded where the same delivery charge would have applied to the items you keep.
Refunds for statutory cancellations involving returned goods are processed without unnecessary delay and no later than 14 days after we receive the goods or evidence they have been sent back, whichever happens first. Different timing applies where we have offered collection or the order is cancelled before dispatch.
Refunds are issued to your original payment method, subject to any lawful deduction. Your bank or payment provider may take additional time to display the payment.
Faulty, damaged or incorrect goods
Your statutory consumer rights apply separately from the change-of-mind cancellation period. This normally includes a 30-day short-term right to reject qualifying faulty goods, with further rights to repair, replacement or other remedies where applicable.
Exchanges
We do not offer a separate change-of-mind exchange service. You can return your original purchase under any applicable cancellation rights and place a new order. This does not affect your statutory rights to a replacement for faulty goods.
Full Returns Policy
