Aroma lamp with essential oil

Aroma lamps, sometimes called diffusers, are used to diffuse essential oils in aromatherapy and esoterics.

There are two different types of aroma lamps:

  • Candle driven lamps use a small candle under a bowl to vaporize a mixture of water and oil.
  • Electrical lamps use a combination of electrical and mechanical principles to vaporize the essence.

Certain plug-in nightlight units made by companies such as Air Wick are used in combination with glass bulbs of scented oil, filling a room with fragrance and light.
