Adesso is launching a new category at High Point Market next week: candle warmers. The smokeless, flameless lamps hold pillar candles in a variety of widths and sizes, and shine a light down on them to release scent. They feature a customizable two, four, or eight-hour timer, allowing one to melt the candles and turn them off at the desired time. Brightness is adjustable. Twelve styles are available.
