The Ultimate Guide to Scentsy Light Bulbs: Wattage, Replacements & FAQs

If you love your Scentsy Warmer, keeping it in top shape is key to enjoying a long-lasting, beautiful fragrance experience. And one of the simplest (but most important!) parts of warmer maintenance? Using the right Scentsy light bulb!

If you’ve ever wondered which Scentsy light bulb you need, when to replace it, or why a regular bulb won’t work—this guide has you covered!

Why Scentsy Light Bulbs Matter

Scentsy Warmers don’t just look pretty—they’re designed to gently warm your wax for a perfect, long-lasting fragrance throw. The light bulb isn’t just for show; it’s a key part of the warming process! Using the wrong wattage can mean:

❌ Wax that doesn’t fully melt = weak fragrance.

❌ Wax that gets too hot = fragrance burns off too quickly.

❌ Risk of damaging your warmer

Which Light Bulb Does Your Scentsy Warmer Need?

Scentsy has a few different warmer sizes, each needing a specific wattage:

💡 40-watt bulbs – Edison Bulb for select warmer style.

💡 25-watt bulbs – Standard full-size warmers for a strong scent throw.

💡 20-watt bulbs – Mid-size warmers with a balanced melt.

💡 15-watt bulbs – Mini (plug-in) warmers, perfect for small spaces.

💡 Colored bulbs – Add a glow of red, blue, green, or purple to your warmer!

When & How to Replace Your Scentsy Bulb

Over time, bulbs naturally dim, affecting how well your wax melts. Here’s when to replace:

✔ If your wax isn’t melting fully.

✔ If your fragrance doesn’t seem as strong as before.

✔ If the bulb burns out completely.

To replace, simply unscrew the old bulb and swap it for a Scentsy-approved replacement. (Regular store-bought bulbs don’t work the same way!)

Do All Scentsy Warmers Use Bulbs?

Not all warmers require a light bulb! If your warmer isn’t melting wax properly, check which type you have:

❌ Element Warmers – These warmers do not take a bulb! Instead, they use a heating plate to gently warm your wax. They’re great for bedrooms or spaces where you want fragrance without a glow.

❌ Multi-Light & LED Warmers – Some newer warmers have built-in LED or color-changing lights that do not require a bulb replacement. These warmers provide a beautiful glow while still warming your wax.
