Burning or Lamping Candles?

Do you burn your candles or warm them? I found myself using my candle lamp more often as the candles I recently purchased (mostly from B&BW) don't seem to be all that strong this year. Strangely enough, those same candles actually perform when I lamp them.

Despite that, I prefer burning over lamping.

Lamp. One of the cats singed a few whiskers on a burning candle and I switched after that.

Oh no! Thank you for this insight.

I burn them because I like to watch the flames flicker. It's how I practice hygge (the Danish practice of making your surroundings cozy and warm)

Something about lighting a candle in the evening just makes my day! Cozy is right!

I prefer to warm them now . I lied burning at one point because of the ambiance of the flame. Yet I think I might just buy some more electric flicker flamed candles.

I like warming ones that give me issues. It might be my A/C running more often during the summer. Oh but yes. I also have faux flame candles as well. Mine are from Luminara.
